In the recent years EU cooperation in VET policies has been strengthened in the framework of the Copenhagen process and the recent Osnabrück Declaration and has developed other related key initiatives like the European Skills Agenda and/or the European Vocational Skills Week.

Xarxa FP, as the only existing European network of cities working on VET mobility and innovation, contributes with its expertise to the design of EU education mobility policies by participating in key European policy dialogue events and consultations in the VET field. In particular, we are members of the European Alliance for Apprenticeships (EAfA) and partners with the Cities4Apprenticeships network.
