ACRE Project SOCRATES Programme No 87259-CP-1-2000-1-FR-GRUNDTVIG-ADU No 114271-CP-1-2004-1-FR-GRUNDTVIG-G1 - 5 - I. the PIEEC (Lifelong Learning European Info Point): a place of Reception at everybody’s service It could be wise to reaffirm first of all that this "product" was designed by the three firstly-partners of the ACRE project in phase 1 starting from the whole of the work jointly undertaken and developed in their own environments and in the three dimensions, which are tools, contents and human resources available. To combine at the same time the individual, the cognitive and social questions, the environment and territorial animation with the will clearly posted to make Time a factor associated with development. The systems tested in the three national entities (Spain, France, Italy) made it possible by consensus to stop a certain number of recommendations in term of good practices: 1. The "PIEEC" (LLEIP) is a favour to be done to the intellectually least endowed people. As such, it must be a public utility attached to a local public authority (Town hall, Metropolitan, Prefecture). For a greater effectiveness, its field of intervention must range between 5000 and 20-25000 inhabitants (in large cities, the additional town halls could probably achieve this mission but that remains to be tested). For not having to create a new service and to generate important operating costs, the "LLEIP" could depend administratively on the School Businesses, Public Library, Social Affairs, ... in fact, on all services having a good knowledge of the local population. 2. The "LLEIP" must facilitate the access to all information relating to the education of adults and, as such, it must have an Internet access to organize the lookout of its own databank and an assistance with exploration of new suitable answers .
