Support to Participation of Serbia in Open Method of Coordination

Podrska_OMKBelgrade, December 2014. In April 2014 European Commission invited Serbian Government to nominate its representatives for Technical Working Groups (TGW), under the Education and Training 2020 strategic framework, to actively participate in the Open Method of Coordination (OMC) mechanism. TWG will allow representatives of Serbia to participate in exchange of best European praxis and educational policies, and also to present results of strategic and reform processes in Serbia. In July 2014 Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit of Government of Serbia approached Adult Education Society with request for support for national representatives in the TWG on adult education in OMC. Decision was made to provide support, on account of other activities, having in mind that EU priority subjects are of crucial importance for further reform processes in education in Serbia, presented in National Strategy on Education. In this respect financial support is provided for participation of one participant of Adult Education TWG on two meetings organized by European Commission in the second half of the year.
