Directorate-General for Education and Culture (European Commission)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Directorate-General for Education and Culture ("DG EAC")is a Directorate-General of the European Commission.
The Education and Culture Directorate-General’s mission has three main aspects:
- Building a Europe of knowledge
- Developing the European cultural area
- Involving citizens in European integration
DG EAC is currently divided into 5 "directorates":
- Lifelong Learning, Education and Training Policies
- Lifelong Learning, Education and Training Programmes and actions
- Culture and Communication
- Youth, Sport and Relations with the Citizen
- Resources
It works closely with the European Union's Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency, which handles most operational programmes on DG EAC's behalf.
It is mainly under the political responsibility of Slovak Commissioner Jan Figel', although multilingualism issues (only) are the responsibility of Romanian Commissioner Leonard Orban
