📢 Do you want to know more about EUPeace - European University plans for 2025? The Work Plan for this year has just been published 📖💡

The new Parcours for the Future (PAFF) publication "How to Empower Young People for a Green, Digital, and Gender-Balanced Future" provides teachers and educators useful material and guidelines on how to incorporate sustainability into career guidance, recognizing the link between digitalization and the green transition, with a special focus on boosting girls' STEM skills.   Based on the GreenComp, the European Framework for Green Competences, it offers concrete actions for preparing young people for a more sustainable future.   ➡️Download the guidelines and discover how to develop “greener” career guidance https://bit.ly/3RFCn0g 💚   Parcours for the Future is an Erasmus+ strategic partnership in vocational education and training. We support education stakeholders and thereby young people in understanding and being prepared for future challenges. The project is conducted by LIFE Bildung Umwelt Chancengleichheit, Alfa Liguria, Organization for Social Innovation "ARNO", Goethe-Institut Brussels and Şcoala de Valori.   #EducationforSustainableDevelopment #STEMgirls #WomenInSTEM #GenderEquality #GreenEconomy #PAFF #SDG

🌍 Why Lifelong Learning Matters Beyond Borders 🌍 Why is lifelong learning a priority for ANE? Isn’t education a national issue? So, how does this concern us when we operate at the Nordic level? 👉 https://lnkd.in/dgrCRXh9 Yes, ANE advocates for engineers and STEM professionals at the Nordic and EU levels. While education and training are primarily national matters, the ripple effects of STEM skill shortages transcend borders. These shortages could hinder our green and digital transition and affect our global competitiveness. The Nordic job market attracts talent, which might seem like a quick fix, but if we leave certain regions behind, we risk weakening the Single Market and missing our green goals. Therefore, driving lifelong learning initiatives at the Nordic and EU levels is not just possible, but essential.

📢 Breaking News: FOR-EU4All awarded European funding!   We are thrilled to announce the launch of the #FOREU4All project, with #EUGLOH joining over 60 European Universities alliances to create a unified Community of Practice. This initiative will help bring together all current and future European Universities alliances into a unified, cohesive structure. Together, the alliances will foster a collaborative and supportive environment where best practices and experiences can be shared amongst them and with the entire European Higher Education sector. As key players in the European Education & Research Area, European Universities alliances are pioneering deep transnational cooperation to drive lasting transformation in higher education.

Strengthening inclusivity by leveraging data 💡 The Erasmus+ GAP Survey 2024 highlights the unique challenges students face in accessing #mobility programmes. These findings also form the basis for an upcoming toolkit to improve inclusivity and accessibility at universities. 🌀 Check out more survey findings & learn about other contributing factors: bit.ly/3PxwuAR #ErasmusGAP #ErasmusPlus UVSQ Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Eötvös Loránd University, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Universidade do Porto, Ivan Franko National University of Lviv

Here is the complete program for the INTERLOCALITY Closing Event, November 18, 2024 (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) https://lnkd.in/dDKsr9zN The multiplier event of the INTERLOCALITY project features on 18 November keynote lectures, parallel workshops and a panel interview, giving participants access to a range of topics within the field of international student employability. Each interactive workshop includes a presentation of the INTERLOCALITY subproject and its results, sharing practical tools and tips. These tools take different forms and are intended for different stakeholder groups, but are all created to have a positive impact on the employability of international degree students.

This week the core team of lnclusion, Diversity & Equity in Mobility (IDEM), an Erasmus+ Project, met in Darmstadt, Germany, for its 8th transnational project meeting. WHY IDEM? According to the recently adopted ambitious recommendation ‘Europe on the move’ by the European Council, o at least 23% of higher education graduates should have a learning mobility experience by 2030 o at least 20% of all learners “with fewer opportunities” should have learning experience in another EU country by 2027. “But I cannot…!" This is yet too often the reality of people who, for economic, social, cultural, geographical, or health reasons, due to their migrant background, or for reasons such as disability or educational difficulties, or for any other reason, including a reason that could give rise to discrimination under Article 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, face obstacles that prevent them from having effective access to learning mobility opportunities (Regulation (EU) 2021/817). Although the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) policies are already integral to the strategic goals of many Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across Europe, students with fewer opportunities are still underrepresented in mobility programs. WHAT? To enable more equitable mobility opportunities for students with fewer opportunities and to advance a stronger institutional commitment to the IDEA policies, IDEM aims to provide HEIs with 1) a Mobility Model tailored to serve the needs of students with diverse backgrounds and inclusive of all students 2) a Toolkit that will help HEIs to include the different IDEA dimensions in their strategic thinking while further developing their institutional IDEA policies, particularly in the context of internationalization and student mobility. HOW? 1)     By bringing together underserved students, university staff, faculty, and other pertinent stakeholders to identify barriers to and challenges during mobility and create solutions to overcome these challenges (Inclusion Training and Bootcamps I & II). 2)     By documenting underserved students’ experiences ‘before, during, and after’ mobility via questionnaires. WHEN? With the Inclusion Training, Bootcamps, and the mobility experience data collection completed in 2023-2024, the IDEM project is now analyzing the data and producing the results, the Mobility Model and the Toolkit, to be published in January 2025. Big thanks to our IDEM partner Technische Universität Darmstadt for hosting this transnational project meeting as well as to all other IDEM partners for the intensive collaboration! 😊 #inclusivemobility #inclusivehighereducation #inclusion #diversity #equity #accessibility #EDUFI HigherEd #ErasmusPlus  

Ireland's Future in Tech and Pharma Depends on STEM Talent 🌍🔬 To sustain its leadership in tech, pharma, and engineering, Ireland needs 1 in 5 students to pursue STEM education. Highlighting this, STEM South West returns for its sixth year at Cork City Hall on November 20th, showcasing how STEM careers can tackle challenges in climate change, healthcare, robotics, and AI. 🤖 With industry and education partners backing the event, the theme "The World Needs You" underscores the critical role of STEM in addressing global issues. Together, we can inspire the next generation to shape the future! 🚀 At Hanley, we recognise the critical role STEM education plays in shaping the future of tech and pharma in Ireland. Events like STEM South West highlight how STEM careers can address global challenges, from advancing healthcare to innovating in robotics and AI.
