A unique opportunity for you to voice your concerns and to work with others in building possible solutions for the future of learning in Europe.

2014 is a turning point for European cooperation in education and training “ET2020”. It is the moment to take stock of more than a decade of community action in the field, but also to make concrete proposals for improving both the priorities and the working methods. This is a very timely debate to take forward the achievements to date, deliver the ET2020 objectives while taking stock of its weaknesses and giving a fresh impetus with new and reinforced priorities since after the European elections, there will be a new Commissioner as well as new Members of Parliament. Hopefully this will include a renewed political will to make lifelong learning a reality in Europe.

EUCIS-LLL in partnership with the Learning for Well Being Consortium, takes this opportunity to organise a seminar on 3^rd June 2014 to reflect on what we want to achieve by 2020 and how to do it with a particular focus on inequalities. The results of the discussions will feed into the debate linked to the next cycle of ET2020 (2015-2017), the midterm review (2015-2020) and the broader Europe 2020 Review.
