  • investigating the specific needs of enterprises for hosting interns with different cultural backgrounds;
  • developing the EILEEN validation system based on the proven LEVEL5 for assessing and validating competences;
  • developing and testing training modules on intercultural topics for multipliers in European enterprises;
  • developing training modules for young people on intercultural topics aimed to prepare them to take part in a European internship;
  • organising intercultural traineeships as open learning projects;
  • validating competence developments of both host enterprises and interns by means of LEVEL5;
  • developing and promoting a European label “Welcoming European Enterprise”;
  • launching a European Award on innovative initiatives to promote intercultural learning in European businesses.
