This introductory briefing paper introduce five key messages on how the Erasmus+, European Solidarity Corps (ESC) and Creative Europe (CE) programmes (and the proposals for successor programmes) address environmental challenges.
EU-Africa academic cooperation
EU-Africa academic cooperation is one of the priority of the strategic partnership between both regions. It allows the mobility of students, researchers and academic staff as well as the cooperation between academic institutions from both regions. The cooperation is supported, not least with the EU funds, through the Erasmus+ and Horizon 2020 programmes as well as through the Inter-Africa Mobility Scheme. With the new financial perspective and the new ‘post-Cotonou’ agreement, still in negotiations ...
Política linguística
No âmbito dos seus esforços para promover a mobilidade e a compreensão intercultural, a União Europeia (UE) destacou a aprendizagem de línguas como uma prioridade fundamental e financia vários programas e projetos neste domínio. A UE considera que o multilinguismo constitui um elemento importante para a competitividade da Europa. Assim sendo, um dos objetivos da política da UE em matéria de política linguística é o de que todos os cidadãos europeus dominem duas línguas estrangeiras, para além da ...
Juventude
A juventude é uma política de âmbito nacional. A possibilidade de harmonizar a legislação dos Estados-Membros está, portanto, excluída. A nível europeu, a política da juventude é decidida de acordo com o processo legislativo ordinário. A vertente da juventude do programa Erasmus+ incentiva o intercâmbio de jovens na UE e também com países terceiros.
The Western Balkans' Berlin process: A new impulse for regional cooperation

However, they still face divisions, both infrastructural and political, and are confronted, among other things, by a dire economic situation and bilateral disputes and instability. In 2014, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced a five-year halt on enlargement. This distancing of the membership ...
Education and Intercultural Dialogue as tools against radicalisation
At a time of rising concerns in Europe over radicalisation and violent extremism, the role that education and intercultural dialogue can play in promoting respect for diversity, pluralism and human rights is increasingly under the spotlight.

Youth programmes and policies in the EU
Whilst commonly understood, "youth" is a difficult concept to define from a policy-making perspective. Nevertheless in the eyes of national governments and European leaders, youth policy has grown increasingly important in recent years.
The European Union and Youth Policy
In the EU Member States there are more than 50 million young people aged between 15 and 25. It is the Member States which are main responsible for the area of youth. However, since its creation the European Community has supported the national measures, in particular by establishing different action programmes, such as the Youth for Europe Programme (1988), the European Voluntary Service for Young People (1996) and the current Youth Programme (2000). The European Community would like to further ...
