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.
Are you or do you work with young people aged between 13 and 30? InterCom, in partnership with Catalyst in Communities, have been commissioned by the British Council (UK National Agency for Erasmus Plus) to run a consultation exercise with young people across the UK which aims to:
- to find out how much young people know and care about the international opportunities offered by Erasmus Plus
- to understand the reasons why young people might not participate, and how much this depends on geographical, cultural, economic or other factors
- to make the programme more accessible and inclusive
- to give young people a voice in future policy-making
Programmes
Our international leadership courses have given hundreds of graduates and other young people the insights, skills and sense of direction needed to build fulfilling careers. Our life skills programmes help school and college students develop confidence and resilience for transition to the next stage of education or the world of work.
Consultancy
We assist other people who want to develop international projects or bring international expertise into their work. Services include: training and capacity-building; educational study visits to or from the UK; research and evaluation; project management; consortia, tendering and sub-contracting.
Policy
We believe in the importance of international experience at all stages of education. We get involved in local and national policy discussions and debate on relevant issues. We encourage and facilitate networking of organisations and individuals who share a commitment to increasing young people’s access to international opportunities.
