The Centre Europe Direct Emilia-Romagna, the regional hub of Emilia-Romagna, plays its role in disseminating and promoting the Conference on the Future of Europe through dedicated presentations within the paths of its catalogue aimed at schools of every order and grade for students and teachers. The aim of these initiatives is to encourage as much as possible the participation of schools in the Conference, especially through the online platform, so that the new generations become active in the decision-making process that will determine their future. In this session, the operators of the Centre turn to the teaching staff enrolled in the course “Design with Erasmus+”, curated by the Uniser Social Cooperative, partner of Europe Direct, inviting teachers to enroll in the platform, deepen the themes and propose activities and methods of discussion in class and school that can be included in the framework of the Conference and be reported on the online platform in the form of an idea or event.

In addition, emphasis is placed on all aspects of studying, working and travelling in the European Union, with reference to student and worker mobility; services and programmes available to young people; as well as healthcare and job opportunities, including information on the European Vocational Mobility Portal and the European Youth Portal. The aim is to increase sensitivity among students to participate in the wide range of resources and tools available to us by the European Union. But... Should we train young people for a new and imminent reality in which a common and globalised labour market is required with a large part of businesses moving in the European area, the rise of transnational professions and the mobility of workers and students? Do we see it important for students, future citizens who will build and participate in the Union, to know both the functioning of their institutions and the common values and the social, cultural and historical diversity of the EU? Is a subject on European Union needed to be taught from schools? Promoting the internationalisation of educational institutions and institutions would be essential for the strengthening and consolidation of the European dimension of education and the transmission of the European concept. To complement this rapprochement between Education and the European Union, visits to European institutions could be made, networks of centres for the exchange of information, competitions on knowledge about the EU, simulations of parliamentary sessions on European subjects or participation in transnational projects, among others, could be set up. In addition, to bring students closer to other initiatives of the European Commission and Parliament, such as the Ambassador Schools programme. In addition to bringing them closer to all aspects of studying, working and travelling in the European Union, referring to the mobility of students and workers; services and programmes available to young people; as well as healthcare and job opportunities, including information on the European Vocational Mobility Portal and the European Youth Portal.
