The project is co-funded by the European Union and Council of Europe and is implemented by the Council of Europe in co-operation with the Turkish Ministry of National Education. It is a transformative project aimed at enhancing the quality of foreign language education across Türkiye. This initiative seeks to align foreign language education within the country with international standards, focusing on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the CEFR Companion Volume (2020). Over a five-year period (60 months), the project will develop and implement resources and training programs, and elaborate policy recommendations to empower both educators and learners.

In this context, The Council of Europe is looking for a maximum of total number of 50 providers for national consultancy and 60 providers for international consultancy, only as natural persons, to support the implementation of the project with a particular expertise on research, advice, co-ordination and facilitation in relation to the policy recommendations, material development, and capacity building.
