SUMMARY:National Recovery & Resilience Plans - Working Together in Renewed Partnership with Regions
DESCRIPTION:Date: 4 March \nTime: 16:00 – 17:30 CEST \nIn response to the impacts and challenges posed by COVID-19\, the European Commission\, the European Parliament and the Council agreed on a Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The RRF will offer support for investments and reforms undertaken by Member States to make their economies and societies more sustainable\, resilient and better prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by the green and digital transitions. \nIn order to access the funding\, Member States will have to produce and submit National Recovery Plans by April 2021. \nLocal and regional authorities play a vital role in addressing the short and long-term social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. However\, a consultation run by the European Committee of the Regions and Council of European Municipalities and Regions found that the involvement of municipalities\, cities and regions in the preparation of the national Recovery and Resilience Plans has been limited and rather unstructured. \nTherefore this timely webinar\, brought to you in partnership with the Government of Catalonia\, will: \n\nReflect on the role of regional authorities in shaping and implementing national investment projects and reforms to deliver a fair and sustainable recovery;\nSpur debate on how to more effectively involve local and regional authorities in the design and implementation of National Recovery and Resilience Plans\, and;\n\nThis panel debate will bring together regional authorities and EU representatives\, and we are delighted we can already announce we will be joined by: \n\n\nJohannes Luebking\, Principal Adviser\, Recovery and Resilience Task Force\, European Commission\nDragoș Pîslaru\, Member of the European Parliament and Co-Rapporteur on the Recovery and Resilience Facility\nRosa D’Amato\, Member of the European Parliament\nMichael Murphy\, Chair of the European Committee of the Regions’ Commission for Economic Policy\nMichiel Rijsberman\, Member of the European Committee of the Regions\, Regional Minister of the Province of Flevoland\nElisabet Nebreda\, Secretary for Foreign Action and the EU\,  Government of Catalonia\nAlbert Castellanos [moderator]\, AER Vice President for Sustainability\, Government of Catalonia

SUMMARY:2021 Innovation Show - How Smart is Your Food?
DESCRIPTION:We live in a world where thanks to technology\, everything is getting “smarter”. \nOur watches monitor our blood-pressure\, our cars can drive themselves\, and since the pandemic\, the high-rise\, multi-story workspaces that dominate our city skylines have been replaced by “virtual” meeting rooms we can carry around in our pockets. \nBut can the food that we eat get “smarter”\, too?  The answer is Yes! \nSmart…food?\nInnovation in food systems is allowing us to develop food that is more nutritious\, more resource-efficient and cheaper to produce. This has huge potential to address many of the great\, global challenges we face. Everything from fighting climate change\, improving global health to promoting gender equality can benefit from advances in food technology and improvements in various levels of the food system. \nWe all have a stake in the future of food innovation. Innovation at all stages of the food value chain is a topic mobilising everyone from scientists and farmers\, to politicians\, NGOs and the private sector. Local and regional authorities have a key role to play here; acting as an interlocutor between stakeholders on the ground\, building partnerships\, fostering collaboration and driving innovation. \nAn innovative show in an innovative format\nThat’s why on 3 March 2021\, the AER\, in partnership with Gelderland Province in the Netherlands is bringing you the 2021 Innovation Show!  \nThe 2021 Innovation Show asks the question “How Smart is Your Food?”  This will be a unique\, hybrid event hosted live from Gelderland Studio bringing together policymakers\, entrepreneurs and experts to field ideas\, find synergies and innovate together. \nWhat you can expect\nThis event will be an opportunity to: \n\nShare experiences from regions on the development and impact of smart food and smart food value chains;\nHear what challenges and opportunities stakeholders see in the food innovation field;\nExamine the role of regions and what new roles are emerging;\nDiscuss the social and economic impact of food innovation\, and what this means for policymakers;\nShare perspectives the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on innovation\, especially when it comes to funding.\n\n \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Enthusiasm in learning and success in times of pandemic
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to two webinars on tackling early school leaving by improving information\, support\, and mutual learning\n \nHow to encourage young people and provide them with adequate support so they remain interested in learning in a global context that is particularly challenging? These two events will provide an opportunity to share regional experiences and hear about support initiatives at the EU level. \nThe events are part of the Skillnet webinar series AER is organising\, which provides an opportunity for mutual learning around topics identified by AER members. \nGenerating enthusiasm\, informing about potential\nOne of the challenges in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is that it is often associated with negative representations such as the difficulty to follow general education or attend university. Informing about the potential of TVET and its success potential is also instrumental in boosting self-confidence in learners. \nThe first webinar\, which will take place on 27 January 2021 at 10:00 CET\, will offer the opportunity to learn and exchange about regional policies and practices aimed at making young people more aware of the opportunities related to Technical and Vocational Education and Training\, in order to: \n\navoid early school leaving because of the inadequacy of training pathways and the risks associated with the feeling of failure;\nencourage young people to see Technical and Vocational Education and Training as a pathway for success: for the Technical and Vocational Education and Training choice to be a positive choice;\nrecruit talented young people in Technical and Vocational Education and Training.\n\nVocational Training in Times of Lockdown and Pandemic\nIn the context of the pandemic\, the fundamental role of schools and teachers has been challenged. With lockdowns put in place across Europe\, vocational education and training (VET) schools had to convert physical classrooms and work-based learning spaces into digital learning environments overnight. Keeping up the attention\, motivation and good spirit of students became a major focus of teachers\, as global events increased uncertainty especially for young people. \nThe second webinar\, which will take place on 28 January at 10:00 CET\, will focus on Vocational Training in Times of Lockdown and Pandemic.\nThe event will be an opportunity to hear about the Cedefop VET toolkit for tackling early leaving created by the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training CEDEFOP\, a very current source of support to policymakers\, education\, and training providers. \n\nAgenda\nNew enthusiasm for vocational training and education\nBoosting self-confidence\n 27 January 2021 10:00 CET\n  \n\n10:00 – 10:05 Welcome introduction of the topic & speakers Hrvoje Kovac\, Chair of the AER subcommittee on Youth\, Varazdin (HR)\n10:05 – 10:10 Housekeeping rules\, quick presentation on Skillnet\, Valentina De Vico\, Communication Manager Skillman Team\n10:10 – 10:20  VET & initial training and existing funding and support opportunities Kjerstin Torpmann-Hagen\, Policy Officer\, European Commission DG EMPL\n10:20 – 10:30 Experience from Catalonia\, Miquel Carrión Molina\, Deputy Director Youth Employment and Professional Qualification\, Catalonia (ES)\n10:30 – 10:40 Experience from Alba\, Gabriela Rus\, Policy officer\, Economic and rural development department\, Alba County Council (RO)\n10:40 – 10:55 Panel discussion and Q&A session\n10:55- 11:00 Closing remarks\n\n  \n \n\n\nVocational Training in Times of Lockdown and Pandemic\nPreventing early school leaving\n28 January 2021 10:00 CET\n  \n\n10:00 – 10:05 Welcome introduction of the topic & speakers Birgit Sandu\, EU Project Manager\, Assembly of European Regions\n10:05 – 10:10 Skillman introduction and Skillnet project presentation Valentina De Vico\, Communication Manager\, Skillman Team\n10:10 – 10:30 Presentation of Cedefop VET toolkit for tackling early leaving Irene Psifidou\, Expert\, Department for Learning and Employability CEDEFOP\n10:30 – 10:40 Experience from Catalonia Borja Castellet\, Project Manager El Llindar\n10:40 – 10:55 Panel discussion and Q&A session\n10:55- 11:00 Closing remarks\n\n\n  \nHow to join the webinars\nClick on the above “register here” buttons (one registration per event) \nor go to the Skillnet events page and chose: \n\nE 418 – Mutual learning on early school leaving: Generating new enthusiasm for vocational training and boosting self-confidence 27/01/2021 10:00 CET\nE 911 – Vocational Training in Times of Lockdown and Pandemic: preventing early school leaving 28/01/2021 10:00 CET\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\nWatch back\nNew enthusiasm for vocational training and education – Boosting self-confidence \nVocational Training in Times of Lockdown and Pandemic – Preventing early school leaving \n\n\n\nHandouts\nVET & initial training and existing funding and support opportunities\nExperience from Catalonia\nExperience from Alba\nPresentation of Cedefop VET toolkit for tackling early leaving\nExperience from El Llindar\, new chances school\, Catalonia\n\n\nContacts\n\nj.pacevicius@aer.eu \nb.sandu@aer.eu\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  \n  \n \n \n

SUMMARY:New mobility services: Anticipating Skills and Job Roles
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to the webinar “New mobility services: Anticipating skills and job roles” that aims to bridge the gap between the skills and job roles needed for the new mobility services sector and the workforce. \nNew mobility services are offering solutions to today’s growing challenges in terms of congestion\, lack of space\, growing population\, air quality\, noise\, social inclusion\, health\, economic development\, and the creation of jobs. These solutions require skilled and adaptable individuals who are able to drive and support change. However\, there is a growing skills shortage in the mobility services sector which could seriously delay the development of the services and hurt customers’ expectations. Thus it is required to look into new skills for the future workforce but also opportunities realized through reskilling the workforce.  \nAbout the webinar\nThe event will be held within the sixth edition of the Skillman International Forum focused on ‘Redefining the Future of Learning in the Advanced Manufacturing Sector’. Additionally\, it is part of the Skillnet series of 18 webinars designed to bring together experts in different fields linked to vocational education and training (VET) with the purpose of establishing relevant groups of collaboration and partnerships for future EU project proposals. \nThe webinar will highlight regional examples on the integration of new mobility services and the development of skills and job roles needed in the sector. In this context\, it aims to: \n\nHighlight the relevance of EU funding opportunities and European cooperation in bridging the skills’ gap in the new mobility services sector\nShare good practices about how regions and local companies can foster the relevant skills in the population\nBoost a network of cross-sectoral experts interested in the new mobility services that can be applied for future EU funding opportunities.\n\nHow to join the webinar?\nOnly one registration is given for all the events within the Skillman International Forum (SIF). Hence\, to join the event\, you have to register to Skillman International Forum and participants will be re-directed from the plenary (main room) to the various sessions in the course the event through break-out rooms. \nIf you cannot attend the whole SIF\, you may access the event at least 15 minutes before the beginning of the webinar “Circular Economy: Opportunities and Needs in the Labour Market” (starting time 15:30) so that you can be re-directed to the session. \n  \n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n  \n\nThis webinar is organised in the context of SKILLNET\, an EU-funded project which aims 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.

SUMMARY:Circular Economy: Opportunities and Needs in the Labour Market
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to the webinar ‘Circular Economy: Opportunities and Needs in the Labour Market‘ aimed to share information about how Vocational and Education Training (VET) programmes can support the transition towards a circular economy and exploits its potential for employment and social inclusion.   \nThe circular economy is among the core policy priorities of regional\, national\, and international policy-makers being a major tool to counter negative environmental trends while offering new opportunities for employment and social inclusion. The core pillars of the circular economy – reuse\, repair\, remanufactured\, and recycling – imply a more labour intensive process than the linear economy where resources are wasted or lost. This results in an unparalleled potential for the promotion of employment\, with the expected creation of approximately 700 000 new jobs linked to the circular economy (the so-called circular jobs) by 2030 in the EU (Cambridge Econometrics\, Trinomics and ICF\, 2018).   \nAt the same time\, the transition is a broad process involving an overarching redefinition of the economy as a whole\, as well as requiring the readiness of all economic and sectors in order to be fully realised. To this extent\, this year\, the European Union has adopted a new Circular Economy Action Plan for the achievement of a “cleaner and more competitive Europe in co-creation with economic actors\, consumers\, citizens\, and civil society organisations”. As suggested in the document\, the labour market plays a fundamental role in this process in that if able to anticipate and prepare for the transition\, it can accelerate and maximise the potential of a circular economy. Hence\, both the realisation of a circular economy and the effective uptake of its employment opportunities strongly depend on the readiness of the labour market.   \nAbout the webinar\nThe event will be held within the sixth edition of the Skillman International Forum focused on ‘Redefining the Future of Learning in the Advanced Manufacturing Sector’. Additionally\, it is part of the Skillnet series of 18 webinars designed to bring together experts in different fields linked to vocational education and training (VET) with the purpose of establishing relevant groups of collaboration and partnerships for future EU project proposals.   \nIt will offer regions and stakeholders engaged with the circular economy the opportunity to learn and exchange about how regions\, companies\, and VET organisations can support the transition towards a circular economy and exploit its employment potential by fostering the needed skills in the workforce.    \nIn this context\, the webinar aims to:  \n\nProvide information about what are the skills needed in a circular economy with particular regard to the advanced manufacturing sector.\nOffer the possibility to learn from\, and exchange with\, experts about how VET can support the circular economy transition by developing new curricula tailored to skill and upskill the ‘circular workforce‘.\nCreate a space for debate and network for experts in the field in order to establish relevant partnerships that can be applied within future EU funding opportunities.\n\nHow to join the webinar?\nOnly one registration is given for all the events within the Skillman International Forum (SIF). Hence\, to join the event\, you have to register to Skillman International Forum and participants will be re-directed from the plenary (main room) to the various sessions in the course the event through break-out rooms.   \nIf you cannot attend the whole SIF\, you may access the event at least 15 minutes before the beginning of the webinar “Circular Economy: Opportunities and Needs in the Labour Market” (starting time 15:30) so that you can be re-directed to the session. \n \n\n\n \n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n \n\nThis webinar is organised in the context of SKILLNET\, an EU-funded project which aims 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.

SUMMARY:Intercultural Regions: Improving Labour Market Inclusion

This shows how essential it is to create opportunities for structured and meaningful mutual learning on integration to enable regional and local authorities to share good practices and improve policies and practices. \n  \nThe webinar will take place on November 10th at 14:00 CET \nThis webinar is organized in the framework of the Includ-EU project\, in close collaboration with the Intercultural Regions Network. The Intercultural Regions Network is a platform for regions to share knowledge\, resources\, and experiences to promote intercultural integration at regional level. \nThis event will be recorded.

SUMMARY:Lifelong learning: Upskilling and reskilling of 50+
DESCRIPTION:  \nWe are pleased to invite you to the webinar “Lifelong learning: upskilling and reskilling of 50+” that aims to bridge the gap between the need for reskilling and upskilling and funding opportunities and programmes offered by the EU. \n  \nThis webinar will highlight regional examples on upskilling and re-skilling and provide insights into the funding mechanisms used. \nIn the context of rapidly changing labour markets\, the upskilling and re-skilling of adults has become a priority. Technological changes and digitalisation require new skills\, while many regions in Europe are faced with both an ageing population and labour and skills shortages. People over 50 oftentimes are not the target group approached for the majority of employers and there is a consistent association between ageing and reduced participation in learning. Effective social inclusion and employment policies\, therefore\, require strong and regularly updated skill foundations. \nDuring this webinar\, Ms Elena Romanini\,  Senior Project Manager\, Skillman\, will explain different programmes and funds on lifelong learning offered by the European Union.  Mr Michael Heaney\, Chief Executive Officer\, Údarás na Gaeltachta will share possibilities in which programmes and projects on re-skilling and upskilling are financed and implemented from the regional perspective. Ms Ana Gale\, Director of Uciliste Studium – Institution for Adult Education will emphasize the importance of the development of the skills in accordance with the industry needs.  She will share the implementation example on cross-border cooperation in the field of upskilling and reskilling adults. \nThe webinar will cover: \n\n10.00 – 10.10 Introduction to the Skillman network and to the webinar (Valentina De Vico\, Skillman Communication Manager)\n10.10 – 10.20 EU fund opportunities for lifelong learning (Elena Romanini\, Skillman Senior Project Manager)\n10.20 – 10.30 Empowering adults to reskill and upskill (Michael Heaney\, Chief Executive Officer\, Údarás na Gaeltachta)\n10.30 – 10.40 Cross-border cooperation in the field of lifelong learning (Ana Gale\, Director\, Uciliste Studium – Institution for Adult Education)\n10.40 – 11.05 Panel discussion and Q&A session\n11.05 – 11.15 Closing remarks\n\n  \nThis webinar is organised in the context of SKILLNET\, an EU-funded project which aims 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\n\n\n REWATCH IT NOW! \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Future of Rural Areas in Europe - Brussels (BE)
DESCRIPTION:  \nOn 9 July\, the Landtag of the Free State of Saxony and the Assembly of European Regions will be hosting an event titled “The Future of Rural Areas in Europe”. AER President Magnus Berntsson will be giving a keynote speech during this event\, along with Bernd Lange\, District Administrator of Gorlitz and CoR Member. Following the keynote speeches\, there will be a panel discussion moderated by Mr Michael Schmitz with MEPs Mrs Constanze Krehl and Dr Peter Jahr\, Mag. Jan Korytar from Liberec City Council\, Mr Paul van der Sluys from the Flemish Land Agency and Mag. Daniela Fraiß\, Director of the Austrian Association of Municipalities in Brussels. \nREGISTRATION\nTo register\, please send an email directly to veranstaltung@bxl.sachsen.de \nEVENT DETAILS\nThe event will be taking place at the Saxony Liaison Office in Brussels. \nAddress: Avenue d’Auderghem 67 B-1040 Brussels \nDate: July 9\, 2019 \nTime: 18:00 \nBig cities and rural areas both contribute in enabling dynamic development\, and with increasing digitalization\, and work has become independent irregardless of location in many areas. Rural areas are increasingly being used as a location for businesses and as a center of life. \nHowever\, the eligibility of rural areas and demographic problems repeatedly show that the potential of rural areas is not fully recognized or used appropriately. It is therefore a concern of this event to motivate decision-makers at European level to work more for rural areas. Comparable challenges and best practice examples will be discussed from different European regions to show that rural areas offer many opportunities for individual development\, economic success\, intact nature and prosperity. \nGENERAL PROGRAMME\nprogramm_en
