Summary

Personal mobility, which is becoming increasingly necessary in the era of the Internet and the globalization of trade, is a crucial part of the European Union's (EU) goal of becoming a knowledge society. While millions of young people, students, teachers, and trainers have participated in educational, training, and linguistic exchanges in the past decade, socioeconomic, linguistic, psychological, and practical administrative problems continue to limit mobility. Implemented in 51 countries, the Socrates (education), Leonardo da Vinci (vocational training), and Youth (mainly young volunteers) programs represent an EU response to a growing demand for mobility. After ensuring that these programs are implemented with optimum efficiency, the following steps will be undertaken: (1) member states will be urged to cooperate in removing barriers to mobility; (2) procedures for recognizing qualifications and training courses will be improved; and (3) a European "curriculum vitae" will be developed. A mobility action plan that aims to maximize opportunities for mobility emphasizes the following: (1) improving the language preparation of applicants; (2) expanding the training of support staff; (3) exploring new financial arrangements; and (4) launching a major public-awareness campaign highlighting opportunities. (Lists seven web sites in an "Information on the Internet" section.) (MO)
