In the course of the Erasmus+ project "Effectiveness of VPL Policies and Programmes for Labour Market Inclusion and Mobility – Individual and Employer Perspectives" (EffectVPL), the Centre for Labour and Political Education (zap) hosted a Transnational Partner Meeting of all partners involved in EffectVPL. During the two-day meeting the partners have discussed first research results, current challenges and future steps for the implementation of the overall project. Respecting the spirit of a strategic partnership this meeting has been a constructive and fruitful exchange of ideas, results and experiences.
