Reflections on the ETF 2008 policy learning exercise in Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey The role of the European Training Foundation (ETF) in the reform process in South Eastern Europe is to facilitate policy learning by making available expertise, information and experience of policies and practice in education and training through participatory processes of stakeholder interaction. Peer learning is one of the tools used by the ETF for policy learning. In 2008 the ETF’s peer learning project was organised around the topic of the ‘Involvement of Social Partners in Education and Training’. This involved peers from the four countries – Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey – with the aim of developing an understanding of the involvement of social partners in vocational education and training, with a focus on the construction and tourism sectors. The current report is a cross-country study of the current state of affairs and the findings of the peer learning exercise.
