**1. Introduction**

New opportunities for the development of education in the Republic of Belarus are provided by international programs and projects [1]. Among them are the Programs of the United States of America, the European Union and others, that give the opportunity to the participating teachers, researchers, higher education institutions' leader to actively implement the gained experience in their countries.

In the context of the global informatization of society, when the world is facing a growing need for inclusive education, the development of interactive educational technologies, the dissemination of information on the experience of implementing the best local, and foreign practices seem to be an urgent task.

Participation in international programs and projects allows the education providers to establish partnership and friendly relations both with foreign colleagues and with colleagues from your own country. The development of such communication leads not only to the acquisition of new knowledge, but also to professional and cultural exchange and mutual development.

By participating in international projects, one can develop the principles and ideas of lifelong learning and implement the main results of the development of the educational process not only in the system of higher education, but also in the system of business education in Belarus.

The involved institutions strive to enhance the principles and ideas of non-formal education, to make it accessible to all people, including socially vulnerable groups.

Thus, in recent years, the principles of Lifelong Learning have become more and more relevant in the Republic of Belarus. There is a growing interest among young people and adults in trainings and courses that are aimed at solving specific problems and developing skills and competencies that are currently in demand. For example, in Belarus, there is a need to support employment processes and development of social business, to provide information support for entrepreneurship, enhancement the pedagogical skills, and competencies of teachers, especially those of technical universities, etc.

Among others, the best practices and bright examples from the project manager from this university, Valentina Vasicheva, are described by the authors in this chapter.
