“Generation Awake. Your choices make a world of difference” which aims to raise

awareness about the need to use natural resources wisely, and to encourage

citizens to think about their impact on the planet when making purchasing

decisions.

Video: Moving within Europe - Which country will pay my old-age pension?

This animation explains what will happen to your rights to an old-age pension if you

live and work in more than one country of the European Union or in Iceland,

Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. In particular, what happens to contributions

paid in one country if you then move to another country? And which country will

pay your pension when you reach retirement age? EU rules on social security

coordination enable you to move around Europe and not lose out on your social

security rights.

High Youth Unemployment

Acknowledged in Multi-annual

Financial Framework Conference

The second high-level conference for

the Multi-annual Financial Framework

(MFF) for the EU budget (2014-2020)

convened in Brussels on 22nd March

2012. The conference was opened in

the European Parliament by President

Martin Schulz, Commission President

Jose Manuel Barroso and Danish

Prime Minister Helle-Thorning

Schmidt. Helle Thorning-Schmidt

acknowledged that the crisis is

especially detrimental to Europe's

youth. “We are witnessing slow

growth and increased unemployment

– not least for our young people,” she

said. In her speech she listed boosting

research and innovation to increase

Europe's competitiveness in the world

economy as one of the four areas the

Danish Presidency believes are key to

focus on. Jose Manuel Barroso

mentioned in his opening speech the

Commission's interest in increasing

investment in education through the

new Erasmus for All programme.

While detailing a plan to allow up to

five million people the chance to study

or train abroad, he said that “The

added value of giving young people

the chance to work and study abroad

is clear in helping citizens acquire

more and better skills, in opening new

doors, and in encouraging free

movement and adaptability.”

Recommendations of the EU

Youth Conference, Sorø, Denmark,

18th-21st March 2012

The EU Youth Conference of the

Danish Presidency in Sorø with a set

of joint recommendations drafted by

youth delegates and Directors General

on Youth of the EU Member States.

The recommendations were a result of

the three days of workshops and

discussions at the conference and

focused on youth participation in

democratic life, which is the overall

theme of this cycle of the Structured

Dialogue.

Highlights of the proposals included a

call for Member States to start

initiatives to stimulate discussion on

lowering the voting age to 16, as well

as easing the voting process through

education and simplification of voting

procedures. An independent

programme for youth with its own

budget line was also recommended, in

order to promote full participation of

young people in society. A key theme

throughout the recommendations was

the importance of close involvement

of youth organisations and young

people in decision-making.

Member States were called on to

support youth organisations and to

form strategic partnerships with them.

Non-formal education provided by

these youth organisations is

necessary for developing skills and

competencies of young people.

The recommendations will be

integrated into the preparation of the

Council Conclusions in May. Read the

joint recommendations and watch the

workshop videos available at the

European Youth Portal.

More money and support for

higher education in Europe

Members of the European Parliament

adopted on 13th March a report calling

for more funds and support to

encourage student mobility and make

European higher education more

attractive and competitive. This

involves reinforcing the Bologna

Process, which aims to create a

European Higher Education Area by

making quality standards and degrees

more compatible throughout the

continent. In addition to the EU, the

Process is also implemented in 20

other European countries. The

Bologna Process required European

universities to revise and reorganise

their teaching activities in a three-

cycle system (Bachelor, Master, and

Doctorate) and also assist in creating

wealth. If the process is to contribute

to achieving the goals of the EU's

2020 strategy for kick-starting

Europe's economy, then more efforts

will need to be made by universities,

member states and the European

institutions. Universities need financial

support from member states and the

EU to support their efforts to change

and develop their education practices.

Member states have to strengthen the

funding system, while it is also

necessary to develop new funding

mechanisms. In addition, more needs

to be done to harmonise academic

standards, promote mobility and

employability, remove administrative

obstacles, improve the mutual

recognition of qualifications (through

the European Credit Transfer and

Accumulation System), and promote

social cohesion.

12th April 2012: Conference “Quality of work and employment, a policy tool

towards an inclusive and sustainable growth” Brussels, Belgium

This was a Joint Conference of the European Parliament and Eurofound with the

participation of Martin Schulz, President of the European Parliament. The latest

conclusions of the EPSCO Council meeting on 'the Annual Growth Survey and Joint

Employment Report – Priorities for action in the areas of employment and social

policies in 2012' emphasises the importance of a return to economic growth 'with

more and better jobs, including good working conditions'. With this in mind, the

conference will address the current policy challenges linked to the issue of quality of

work and employment. It will examine how changes in employment and work

related policies could impact on the quality of societal and economic progress and

how mainstreaming the quality of work and employment dimension into other

European policy agendas could also contribute to the ultimate perspective of more

'sustainable and inclusive work’. The event will also launch the overview report of

the Fifth European Working Conditions Survey, one of Eurofound's flagship reports

of 2012.
