Under the Project DeInTRA, the partnership “intends to reach a consensus through a iterative dialog about the innovative methodologies in lifelong learning. We intend to present some partial results regarding the stage of development for the project subject in Romania, as an active partner under the comparative frame developed. At this moment we could mention our contribution to the definition “what are innovative methodologies in lifelong learning”. Another contribution is represented by the simple evaluation, in the Romanian context, of the presence of the training methodologies under the project DeInTRA typology. Currently DeInTRA classify new training methodologies in five types: e-Learning, m-Learning, Blended learning, On-the-job planned training (coaching and mentoring), Cooperation Networks, Events.
