This publication presents, in three languages, a program of conferences prompted by the Preamble to the Treaty of Amsterdam which emphasised the importance of the highest possible level of knowledge for everyone. Evidence from the Joint Report on Employment 1999 revealed that only a limited number of countries have a clear lifelong learning strategy and the Conference of Ministers of Education, Labour and Youth from the European Union (EU) and Central and Eastern European Countries was organised in March 2000 to launch LEONARDO II, SOCRATES II and YOUTH - all on the theme of lifelong learning.
