Background
Organised at the initiative of Tibor Navracsics, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport by the European Commission, DG EAC, the event will provide an open platform for exchanges between education, training and youth stakeholders and policymakers. The main discussions will focus on key issues that education and training will be facing in Europe and beyond until 2030, including the challenges associated to demographics; inclusion and citizenship; technological change and the future of work; digitalisation of society; environmental concerns; and investments, reforms and governance.
The Forum will build on the work of the European Education and Training Expert Panel, which consists of independent experts from across Europe. The Panel members will present their findings on these six challenges and there will be an opportunity to provide input to the preparation of the new EU education and training cooperation framework beyond 2020. The Forum will also highlight some of the European Union’s main initiatives driving forward the future education and training, including non-formal and informal learning, in particular via the Erasmus programme. It will involve plenary sessions, a number of interactive workshops and plenty of networking opportunities.
