About the project
This project is funded by the British Government under the 'Diplomatic Influence and Value Fund – Reuniting Europe'.
ProAccession is a two-year project (2012-2014) developed and delivered by the British Council. Its aim is to support the development of key techniques and skills of formal communication with the EU structures in the EU accession negotiation process. The skills include: formal correspondence, presentations, EU working group meetings and negotiations.
This is a combined programme developing both professional and English speaking and writing skills.
Project activities
The Programme includes a set of intensive training courses based on the rigorous communication standards within the EU institutions, which will contribute to establishing a cadre of highly professional staff able to perform tasks and communicate effectively with the EU structures.
