The European Commission has published a public consultation on the “Recommendation on Promoting social inclusion and shared values through formal and non-formal learning”.
.
The objective of the consultation period is to gauge public opinion on the importance of equipping young people with shared values and how education and non-formal learning can help achieve this aim in view of creating more socially cohesive societies.
.
The consultation, which will take the form of an online questionnaire, aims to gather input on the following questions:
- How successful are education and training in helping young people acquire shared values and promoting social inclusion?
- Which are the most effective policy approaches, tools and methods in formal and non-formal learning?
- How can EU level cooperation in the fields of education and training add value and support Member States in the most effective way in promoting social inclusion and shared values through formal and non-formal learning?
.
The European Commission welcomes contributions to this consultation from all citizens and organisations; particularly from education and training institutions, civil society organisations, public authorities and youth organisations.
.
The Consultation period will remain open until 11th August 2017.
.
More information on the consultation is available on the European Commission Website.
