EuroIntegrELP aimed to contribute to the promotion of language learning at high quality standards among adults belonging to various social and professional groups, through the use of the European Language Portfolio (the EAQUALS / ALTE version for adults) as a quality instrument. It enhanced opportunities for social integration and professional development through language learning, including less widely used and taught languages.

The project started from the premise that in a multicultural and multilingual Europe it is necessary that language learners should be encouraged to value their already existent partial competences in various languages and to develop new ones, to take responsibility for their own learning and to develop self-evaluation skills. Learning foreign languages increases the learners’ chances of social integration in their own country and in an international (European) environment, as well as their opportunities for personal development.

The ultimate target groups were Ministries of Labour, employers/Human Resources Managers, private and state employment agencies, providers of language training, providers of vocational training, language learners (15+), people in vocational training, unemployed/employees in the project countries.
In terms of impact, decision makers (such as ministries and employers) were made aware of the existence and benefits of using the ELP on a regular basis, as a document certifying the employees’ linguistic competence. On the other hand, for the ELP users both the approach promoted through the ELP and the instrument itself create equal opportunities to mobility, employability and access to European values in general.
