European Commission launches online meeting point to discuss the future of Erasmus+

The Erasmus+ Generation Online Meeting Point is an open space for citizens to have a say on the future of the Erasmus+. EAEA engourages all its members and adult education stakeholders to take part in the discussions.

The European Commission invites all Erasmus+ beneficiaries, including adult educators and learners, to take part in the discussions held on the  Erasmus+ Generation Online Meeting Point. Based on the discussions, the Commission will draft a concrete set of proposals – an Erasmus+ Generation Declaration – for the future of the programme beyond 2020.

When and where will the discussions take place?

The discussion will take place on the Erasmus+ Generation Online Meeting Point on the 15 October 2017. The discussion will be the first step in drafting the Erasmus+ Generation Declaration. The discussions will focus on six key topics chosen based on the feedback from the Mid-term evaluation of the Erasmus+ programme and the debates of 13th June at the European Parliament:

  • Societal challenges
  • Skills gap
  • Civic engagement
  • Inclusion
  • Global dimension
  • Simplification.

Who will moderate the online discussions?

One discussion leader has been nominated by each Erasmus+ programme country and assigned as a moderator for one of the six key topics. They will be in charge of moderating the online discussions, collecting input from the Erasmus+ Generation, and drafting and presenting the Erasmus+ Generation Declaration.

What is the Erasmus+ Generation Declaration?

Erasmus + Generation Declaration is a concrete set of proposals that reflect the Erasmus+ Generation’s vision of the future programme beyond 2020. These proposals will be presented to EU decision makers on November the 30th in Brussels.

Who makes up the Erasmus+ Generation?
