Online consultation on Erasmus+: make your voice heard now!

The Education, Training and Youth Forum aims at gathering various stakeholders once per year in order to discuss key policy developments linked to the Europe 2020 strategy, the strategic framework for European cooperation in Education and Training (ET2020) and the European Youth strategy.
This year´s forum takes place in Brussels on 17-18 October 2013 and promotes the idea of "Working together for Reforms". It emphasises the need for policy makers and key stakeholders to work in partnership, in order to foster the successful implementation of reforms at national and regional level, in particular through the opportunities offered by Erasmus+, the new EU education, training and youth programme 2014-2020.
The Forum comes at an important moment, with the imminent launch of the new programme. It is an opportunity for stakeholders to get together and reflect on how they can contribute, through the programme, in implementing initiatives for modernising education and training systems, increasing skills levels and enhancing youth participation in society.
To prepare an open and rich discussion at the Forum, the European Civil Society Platform for Lifelong Learning (EUCIS-LLL), of which EAEA is a member of, calls all stakeholders to take part in the online consultation and make their ideas for how they can contribute to reforms through the programme ahead of the Forum. The survey aims to collect answers from as many different stakeholders (education and training providers, companies, public authorities, social partners). The outcome will serve as an input during the Forum. Deadline to respond is 4 October.
EUCIS-LLL has also produced an infonote on new opportunities for Partnerships in Erasmus+. Read it on EUCIS-LLL website.
