SUMMARY:REGISTER NOW! - Back to Our Future - Regions leading Europe's Green Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Date: 9 June \nTime: 10:00 – 11:30 CEST \n***UPDATE *** We are delighted to announce we will be joined by Dominique Riquet\, Member of the European Parliament and Rapporteur on the Opinion of the Committee on Transport and Tourism on the Just Transition Fund. \nThe COVID-19 crisis brought the world to a standstill in 2020. City centres became ghost towns\, economic activity slumped\, and political priorities fell by the wayside as managing the pandemic became the all-consuming political focus. \nYet\, though it faded into the political background\, what did not stand still is the dangerous rate at which our planet is heating up. While the COVID-19 pandemic is a crisis of the now\, failing to get back on track to meet our 2030 targets puts our entire future in jeopardy. As we emerge from the pandemic\, it is time to get ‘Back to Our Future’ and put our climate targets back at the top of the political agenda.  \nThat is why on 9 June as part of EU Green Week\, the AER Bureau will bring together policymakers and experts to discuss the role of regions in tackling the climate crisis and delivering a green recovery. Speakers will consider the following questions: \n\nWhere will the European climate strategies take us in terms of alignments with the Paris and 2030 Agenda goals?\nHow can the COVID-19 recovery and climate action work together?\nWhat opportunities and challenges do regional authorities face in delivering a fair transition to a climate neutral economy?\nHow can we develop multi-level and multi-stakeholder partnerships that deliver a just transition to a sustainable future?\n\nThe speakers for this debate will be: \n\nVeronika Hunt Šafránková\, Head of United Nations Environment Programme Brussels Office\nElena Višnar-Malinovská\, Head of Unit for Adaptation\, Directorate-General for Climate Action\, European Commission\nAndries Gryffroy\, Member of the European Committee of the Regions and Rapporteur on the European Green Deal\nDominique Riquet\, Member of the European Parliament\, Rapporteur on the Opinion of the Committee on Transport and Tourism on the Just Transition Fund.

SUMMARY:Social Inclusion in TVET and Skill Development - Leaving No-one Behind
DESCRIPTION:TVET policies and programmes are of core importance to ensure that all people can enjoy inclusive skill development leading to both individuals’ affirmation and the creation of diversified learning environments.  As reported by Srinvas Reddy\, Chief of the ILO Skills and Employability Branch\, “inclusive skills development and lifelong learning opportunities are vital to prevent people from being left behind\, to maintain people’s employability\, and to ensure that economies and enterprises recover promptly from the crisis”.  (Guide on making TVET and skills development inclusive for all\, ILO Skills and Employability Branch\, 2020). \n  \nYet\, as a result of rapid and increasing societal changes – as the digital transformation\, climate change\, globalisation and demographic trends – in-depth transformation have been taking place in the labour market creating further constraints to inclusion and societal wellbeing. This condition has been further amplified by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the creation of the so called ‘lockdown generation’. \n  \nThe AER has been actively working on societal challenges throughout the past years. In 2018\, it adopted a Position to express the need for new solutions (societal innovation) to societal and territorial challenges while ensuring quality public services and jobs. \n  \nIn this context\, public authorities\, VET experts\, and civil society organisations have a primary role in re-defining and improving the TVET system at the local level and developing societal innovation to ensure that learning opportunities address everyone’s needs and specific conditions. \n  \nThe webinar aims to contribute to foster inclusive TVET systems and skill development by offering first hand insights from the European Commission\, as well as a space for the exchange of knowledge and practices among policymakers\, VET experts and practitioners. \nAGENDA:  \n\n10.00 – 10.05: Housekeeping rules and quick presentation of the Skillnet project\, Valentina De Vico\, Communication Manager\, Skillman Team\n10:05 – 10:15 Opening – Social Inclusion in the TVET sector and opportunities at the EU level\, Joao Santos\, Senior Expert\, European Commission\n10:15 – 10:25 Social Innovations in TVET and Inclusiveness Assessment Aurora Carrasco Minguez/Alicia Garcia-Madrid Colado\, European Network of Innovation for Inclusion (ENII)\n10:25 – 10:35 Social Innovation Practice ‘B-WISE:  Blueprint for sectoral cooperation on skills in Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs)\, Konstantina Leventi\, European Association of Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities (EASPD)\n10:35 – 10:45 Social Innovation Practice ‘VETEREALITY’\, Massimo Aloe\, REATTIVA\n10:45 – 10:55 Q&A\n10:55 – 11:00 Closing Remarks\n\nThe event is part of the Skillnet webinar series AER is organising\, which provides an opportunity for mutual learning around topics identified by AER members. \nYou can find the presentations of the webinar here!  \n  \n\n  \n  \n\n\n\nContacts\n\n j.pacevicius@aer.eu \n b.sandu@aer.eu\n\n\n\n  \nThis webinar is organised as part of the SKILLNET series of webinars on EU funding opportunities. SKILLNET is a project funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission aiming to strengthen the Vocational Education and Training (VET) system’s role and capacity to design high-quality VET programmes tailored to current societal needs through enhanced transnational and cross-sectoral partnerships. \n

SUMMARY:SAVE THE DATE: Includ-EU - First Regional Network Workshop 30 June & 1 July
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe first regional workshop for our Includ-EU Project will take place on Wednesday\, 30 June (09:00-12:30 CEST) & Thursday\, 1 July 2021 (09:00-12:00 CEST)! \nWhat is the Includ-EU Workshop about?\nOur Includ-EU Project brings regions together to share insights\, experiences and ideas for creating more targeted\, successful migrant integration policies at local and regional level. Creating venues for knowledge-sharing is key to this process. With that in mind\, we are delighted to invite you to our first workshop for regions later this month! \nOn Day 1\, an immersive peer learning exercise will help us re-think integration services in light of crises. On Day 2\, there will be presentation by DG Home\, followed by a structured exchange with local and regional stakeholders. The Workshop will conclude with a dynamic “market-place” activity\, where participants will have the chance to showcase their best practices and exchange ideas with one another. \nWho can join?\nThis first online workshop is geared towards partners from the Includ-EU Project Consortium\, as well as key stakeholders identified in the countries with no official partners. \nWhile this particular workshop is geared towards the project partners\, we also warmly invite all interested regions from the Intercultural Regions Network to join as well. For those who don’t know\, the Intercultural Regions Network (IRN) is our platform for regions to share knowledge\, resources and experiences to promote intercultural integration.  Participation of IRN members will bring an added value to our activities and discussions\, so please do not hesitate to register as well! \n  \n \n  \nFor more information\, please contact: Johanna Pacevicius\, Policy & Knowledge Transfer Coordinator by e-mail at  j.pacevicius@aer.eu \n*** \nThis project is funded by the European Union’s Asylum Migration and Integration Fund programme (AMIF).
