Disseminate and Exploit Results
Disseminate and Exploit Results
We want you to spread the word about your activities or project as far and as wide as possible. To disseminate in this way is an essential part of all Lifelong Learning programme projects. Information-giving and awareness-raising are key activities to ensure that others benefit from your experience. This all helps to ensure that the impact of your activities is far-reaching.
We also want you to fully exploit the results of your activities so that more people can share in the successes, experiences and lessons learned. For example, your results could be tailored to the needs of others; transferred to new areas; continued after the funding period has finished; or used to influence policy and practice.
The documents below will guide you in how to successfully disseminate and exploit the results of your activities.
Sharing Success: A Dissemination and Exploitation Handbook for Everyone Involved in the Lifelong Learning Programme
We've written this handbook to help you disseminate and exploit your project activities.
The handbook provides an introduction to dissemination and exploitation activities for individual participants and projects funded under the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP). You can find case studies as well as practical tips from us at the National Agency, and from experienced participants, throughout the handbook. We hope these will inspire you to get started with your own activities.
