Priorities for action under Key Activity 3: ICT
3.1 Multilateral Projects
Priority will be given to the following topics:
3.1.1 Priority 1: Identifying and implementing innovative uses of ICT for lifelong
learning, in particular for groups at risk of exclusion
ICT enables individuals to enhance their social networking and this has the potential enhance their learning. Learning is mostly a social process. Self-learning and informal peer-learning are important ways of developing e-skills and competences. But they are also increasingly important skills in formal learning. A new generation of ICT-based social networking tools and platforms ('Web 2.0' and other relevant ICT developments) is rapidly growing in popularity. Examples are weblogs, wikis, podcasts, social software, virtual social sites, as well as tools such as mobile phones. These are easy to use, affordable and widespread, in particular among groups at risk-of-exclusion (early school-leavers, ethnic minorities, elderly people, etc), and so offer potential to (re)-connect groups at risk-of-exclusion to public services, learning and civic engagement.
Projects should cover:
– the development and implementation of experimental approaches related to these new trends and tools, including the analysis of their impact in learning outcomes;
– comparative analyses of existing practice to identify transferable good practice and success factors;

3.1.2 Priority 2: ICT as a catalyst for innovation and creativity in lifelong learning
