The main aim of the project DiVa is to carry out European studies about successful educational projects, to evaluate them based on especially defined criteria and to elaborate a best-practice catalogue as well as recommendations. The most successful projects will be selected and evaluated upon defined criteria. The consortium sets a focus on educational projects within the triangle of education, culture and Europe. The project duration is two years, from Dec. 2009 to Nov. 2011
The project has developed the following products (you can download them by following the links provided.):
• A handbook for dissemination and valorization of educational projects;
• A best-practice catalogue with the most successful projects and possible candidates for further development and transfer;
• Recommendations to the EC and National Agencies e.g. for future calls and selection criteria of such projects.
The products developed are provided to the European Commission, to the Lifelong Learning national agencies and to European players in order to help them identify the projects with the highest potential for further development and for transfer of innovation.
