📢 The impact of #volunteering should not be neglected! Highlights from #CivSocWeek

[EESC Liaison Group & Civil Society Relations @EESC_CivSocRel]

At our Volunteering & Social Economy session, the panel stressed that volunteering is often the first step in building resilience. Social economy groups are first responders to local crises, yet MFF negotiations threaten fundings
“We don’t need cheerleaders, we need real support”

We invest in teachers because well-supported teachers equals high-quality education.

🔹 1.25M connected via eTwinning
🔹 300K+ used EU self-assessment tools

Türk Kültür Vakfı ve AFS Türkiye’nin yürüttüğü eğitmen eğitimi programında, Bulgaristan, Sırbistan ve Türkiye’den AFS gönüllüleriyle buluştuk.
Komşu ülkeler arasında eğitim iş birliğini güçlendirmeyi ve aktif yurttaşlığı destekleyecek eğitmen ekipleri oluşturmayı hedefleyen projede ortaklaştırabileceğimiz çalışmaları konuştuk. Proje, Avrupa Birliği Erasmus+ programı kapsamında ve EFIL (Avrupa Kültürlerarası Öğrenme Federasyonu) koordinasyonuyla yürütülüyor. Katılımcılara çalışmalarında başarılar diliyorum.

High-level meeting in the context of the EU Youth Policy Dialogues by Commissioner @GlennMicallef completed! A key opportunity to call for a separate and strong @EUErasmusPlus and ESC programmes with more impact for our youth.💪Thank you!

[Glenn Micallef @GlennMicallef]

I pledged to do policy with young people, not only for young people.

Getting young people's feedback about the implementation of our policies and funds is a crucial step in this process.

That's what I did today in my first implementation dialogue.
