International thinking, values and skills
The Centre for International Learning and Leadership (CILL) is a training and consultancy organisation specialising in non-formal education, with partners in over 40 countries.
In addition to our own programmes, we advise other organisations, develop joint international projects, and contribute to public policy discussions.
EuroPeers UK youth network is being relaunched! EuroPeers help to promote Erasmus Plus to other young people at schools and youth organisations acting as youth advocates for the programme. In the process they make their own international connections and develop great leadership skills. If you know any young person age 16-30 who is interested in international activities and looking for personal development and leadership opportunities, please encourage them to go to the EuroPeers UK web page to become a member, It’s completely free. If you are in the age group yourself, you will be welcome! Or if you were a member of EuroPeers UK previously and would like to mentor the next generation, please let us know.
The government has agreed that the UK will join the Erasmus Plus programme from 2027. This is welcome news for young people and educators everywhere.
CILL is partnering with the European Movement UK and the UK Global Learning Association for Schools in leading the National Campaign for Erasmus Plus.
