Beschreibung
In the past seventy years, education and training have
evolved from side issues of political cooperation to
political priorities of the EU. For three decades within
this period, they were promoted implicitly to enable the
mobility of workers in the internal market. Later on, a
European dimension of education and training has developed
through mobility and cooperation programs and through the
lifelong learning discourse. Today, a European policy space
of education and training is unfolding, which the EU is
coordinating by the means of soft governance arrangements.
