EUCIS-LLL meets Commissioner for Education Androulla Vassiliou, 18 October
On 18th October 2011 a
delegation of EUCIS-LLL Steering Committee members met Mrs Androulla Vassiliou, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth. They discussed about the need to better connect the national and the European level with more user-friendly programmes but also with a greater involvement of stakeholders in the implementation of the Education and Training work programme. EUCIS-LLL delegates stressed the need for stronger stakeholders’ participation both at the European and national level and made some concrete proposals. EUCIS-LLL very much supports the position of the Commission for an increased investment (EU programmes but also national budgets) in education, training and youth to exit the crisis. They also discussed about the need to put more focus on the social dimension of education and training (
