Concept Development Meeting regarding a project for the European Elections 2014

At the end of January, about 10 of our members gathered in the CD house to develop a concept for a project on the topic of the European Elections 2014! Two days of fruitful discussions led to lay the ground for the basic structure of the project, the aim and objectives and lots of ideas to encourage young people to take an active part in the European Elections in 2014. Soon you will hear more about it!

What kind of Europe do we want for 2014-2020?

For the very first time, the overall expenditure limit of the MFF has been reduced compared to the previous budget. “What kind of commitment to Europe are the heads of Members States showing to their citizens by cutting the budget of the EU for the next 7 years?” asks Luis Alvarado Martinez, President of the European Students’ Forum (AEGEE-Europe).

AEGEE-Europe’s Position on Rethinking Education

AEGEE welcomes the initiative of the European Commission inviting the Member States, the European Parliament, the European Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, and the Committee of the Regions, to reform the structure of the Educational Systems in Europe. We agree that the current education model is outdated and does not match a society that has changed at high speed through the last decades.

However, we regret that the Commission does not address education in all its dimensions, but chooses to focus only on its impact on the employment rate of young people. We acknowledge the importance of education in solving the issue of unemployment, but we consider it necessary to truly “rethink education”.
