The ECML offers its member states European expertise in language education adapted to the concrete needs and specific contexts within individual countries. This bilateral support in a range of key areas helps strengthen the cooperation between member states and the ECML by taking the expertise gained from ECML projects directly into member states. ECML experts work with national authorities and local experts to devise and implement in-country activities, tailored to the particular context and target audience.
This mediation strand of ECML activity helps member states to:

respond to the challenges presented by migration and mobility;

foster the professional development of language educators;

advance national reform processes;

facilitate exchange of good practice through professional networks;

meet international standards.

Practical information

ECML Training and consultancy activities can be requested by ECML Governing Board members only. The ECML will carry out on average 20 Training and consultancy activities each year. Depending on the level of demand, a selection process may take place. The selection criteria will be made available to the Governing Board.

Local organiser

For each activity a local organiser will be designated by the requesting Governing Board member. The local organiser will:

  • participate in a preparatory network meeting in Graz (travel and subsistence costs covered by the ECML);
  • liaise with the ECML experts and the ECML secretariat;
  • invite participants and organise the venue;
  • provide documentation of the event.

One preparatory network meeting is foreseen for each year where the ECML expert teams and the local organisers of all countries involved will meet. The aim of this meeting is to discuss the expected contribution of the ECML experts, to agree on the content and to prepare a draft agenda of the activity.

Costs covered by the ECML

Preparatory network meeting in Graz: The ECML covers travel and subsistence costs of the local organiser and up to four expert team members for a one- or two-day meeting.

Training workshop in the ECML member state: The ECML covers fees as well as travel and subsistence costs of two ECML experts for 2 training days plus a preceding day of preparation on site.

All other costs related to the training are covered by the host country.

Complementary offer: National support

Complementary to the ECML Training and consultancy offers, member states can also benefit from support for events such as conferences, webinars, in-service trainings, etc, organised at national level. Upon request by the ECML Governing Board member, the ECML will consider the contribution of one ECML expert to such an event. This would also be an opportunity to promote the work of the Centre. The requested contribution should be related to a concrete project or to resource websites of the current or previous programme.
