SUMMARY:#EURegionsWeek – Eurodyssey35: Regions on the move
DESCRIPTION:The Assembly of European Regions is pleased to announce one more contribution to the European Week of Regions and Cities (EWRC). For the first time\, the Eurodyssey programme will be featured in the #EURegionsWeek through our virtual participatory lab\, Eurodyssey35: Regions on the move\, which will take place on 14 October at 9:30 AM. \nIn this session\, policy-makers\, regional officials and young activists will engage one another in an open dialogue on what is at stake for youth development\, and the instrumental role of youth mobility in fostering territorial cohesion and a sense of European identity.  \nMobility is at the core of European integration. For over 25 years the EU has actively promoted the mobility of students\, researchers and citizens to deliver in strategic policy areas: employment\, education and inclusion. Since 1985\, the AER has put regions at the forefront of fair mobility for young people through our Eurodyssey programme. Regional and local authorities have a key part to play in driving youth development and tackling barriers to short-term mobility and longer-term cohesion. \nThrough parallel discussions\, the audience will not only take a deep-dive into the ins and outs of youth mobility but will also challenge the invited storytellers to reflect upon the linkages between fair mobility\, quality employment\, social inclusion and active European citizenship. \n  \nDEADLINE EXTENDED! \n \nClosing date: 7 October 2020 \nSpeakers: \n\nMr Hrvoje Kovač\, Chair of AER Subcommittee on Youth\, Assembly of European Regions (AER).\nMs Jovana Majstorovic\, Board Member\, European Youth Forum.\nMs Floor Van Houdt\, Head of Unit for Youth policy and Volunteer Solidarity\, European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education\, Youth\, Sport and Culture.

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
