Documentation Erasmus+ A guide to European Union opportunities in education, training, youth and sport: changing lives, opening minds The brochure provides the essential information and the main opportunities available within the Erasmus+ programme in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the years 2014-2020. http://tinyurl.com/kdrk8wa Special Eurobarometer survey "Europeans 2014" According to the survey, a majority of Europeans say that they have a positive image of the EU (34%, which is 3 percentage points higher than the Standard Autumn Eurobarometer released in November 2013), compared to 26% who say they have a negative image of the EU. There is also growing optimism with regards to the economic outlook in Europe and towards Europe's future.

Europeans in 20 out of 28 Member States say they expect the economic situation in their home country to improve in the coming twelve months. The Special Eurobarometer is based on a representative sample of people from all 28 Member States of the European Union. In total almost 28,000 citizens aged 15 and older were interviewed between 15th and 24th March 2014. http://ec.europa.eu/public_opinion/archives/eb_special_419_400_en.htm#415 Eurydice report: "Modernisation of Higher Education in Europe: Access, Retention and Employability" The report finds that not enough countries are using the information they collect on higher education to improve their universities and the opportunities they offer for students. The report investigates what governments and higher education institutions are doing to widen access to higher education, increase the number of students that complete higher education (retention), and give guidance to students on entering the labour market (employability). More than 30 countries took part in the survey - all EU Member States, with the exception of Luxembourg and the Netherlands, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Norway and Turkey. http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/education/eurydice/documents/thematic_reports/165EN. pdf Study on Policy Measures to improve the Attractiveness of the Teaching Profession in Europe Commissioned by the European Commission, the study looks in detail at what makes the teaching profession attractive (or not); maps the different policy measures that countries use (or could use) to attract high-quality recruits, to make careers more attractive, and to enhance the social status and prestige of teaching; and assesses their effectiveness. It also makes recommendations for improvements. The study focuses on teachers in primary and secondary education (ISCED 1, 2 and 3) in the 28 EU Member States plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Turkey. It is based upon a survey of more than 80,000 student teachers, teachers and school leaders, interviews with national decision-makers, and a review of the research in the field. http://ec.europa.eu/education/library/study/2013/teaching-profession1_en.pdf http://ec.europa.eu/education/library/study/2013/teaching-profession2_en.pdf

U-Multirank U-Multirank is a new international university ranking which assesses the performance of more than 850 higher education institutions worldwide and produces multi-dimensional listings rating universities on a much wider range of factors than existing international rankings. This will allow users to obtain information on the universities or specific disciplines, which most interest them, and to choose criteria according to their own preferences. The U-Multirank bases its assessments on five key areas: research performance, quality of teaching and learning, international orientation, success in knowledge transfer (partnerships with business and start-ups) and regional involvement. http://u-multirank.eu/#!/home?trackType=home EU youth policy: opportunities at local level Produced by Eurodesk Netherlands, the video describes the European Youth Strategy, how it works, its opportunities for local youth policy and youth work. http://vimeo.com/92826229 EPALE: Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe A new initiative funded by the European Commission is the latest development in the EU’s long-term commitment to promoting high quality adult learning in Europe.

Highlights 20th–21st May 2014: Education, Youth, Culture & Sport Council Conclusions EU Ministers for Education, Youth, Culture and Sport met in Brussels on 20th and 21st May. They adopted conclusions on: effective teacher education, addressing concrete issues such as how to attract and retain the best candidates, how to ensure the relevance of teacher education programmes and how to better exploit the potential of new technologies and resources. Member States were also invited to use the funding opportunities in EU instruments, such as the Erasmus+.

– multilingualism and the development of language competences, inviting Member States to adopt and improve measures aimed at promoting multilingualism and enhancing the quality and efficiency of language learning and teaching.

– quality assurance supporting education and training, which cover specific issues such as the quality of cross-border education and the extent to which quality assurance arrangements could be developed in other areas of education and training, such as schools, work-based learning and non-formal learning.

The Council and the representatives of the governments of the Member States also adopted two resolutions on: – the EU Work Plan for Youth, which is a medium-term plan for 18 months, with key initiatives in specific youth policy areas, so as to enable the EU and its Member States to address urgently the high youth unemployment rates and the consequences of the current crisis for young people.

– the structured dialogue process, which is a forum for continuous joint reflection on the priorities,

implementation and follow-up of European cooperation in the youth field, involving a wide range of young people and youth organisations. The next cycle of the structured dialogue will be launched in the EU Youth Conference in October, under the Italian Presidency.

Youth empowerment will be the priority theme for the next 18 months.

The Council also adopted conclusions on promoting youth entrepreneurship to foster social inclusion, focusing on creativity, innovation and green jobs and inviting member states to recognise the importance of entrepreneurial education from an early age, highlighting the role of nonformal and informal learning to ensure the autonomy and the personal development of young people, as well as to facilitate their successful integration into the labour market.

At the meeting the Italian delegation informed on the work programme of the future Presidency, announcing the following priorities: - Youth empowerment, in particular access to rights; - Political participation of young people; - European public service. http://tinyurl.com/q79b7g6 Sixty universities receive 'European Master's in Translation' Label The list of universities selected for the 'European Master's in Translation' (EMT) Label has been announced on 2nd June by the European Commission.

It also demands an enhanced and active role for youth in policy formulation, as well as in the implementation and evaluation of processes related to development.

Delegates also recognised the urgent need for the fulfilment of young people’s human rights and encouraged the establishment of a permanent youth department within the United Nations with representations in member countries to support and follow up local youth programmes. They also called on the Secretary-General of the United Nations to establish a permanent forum on youth to facilitate a sustained dialogue on the Post-2015 Development Agenda. http://www.wcy2014.com/pdf/colomb o-declaration-on-youth-final.pdf http://www.wcy2014.com
