Education:
an encounter with the world beyond us
An opportunity to come together and reflect on education.
- Aislinn
Aislinn highlights the importance of the European Education Area as the perfect initiative to foster a space for sharing knowledge and ideas.
What the EU is doing
This platform serves the purpose of facilitating encounters with others. This opens up doors to discovery, welcoming new approaches in education and to intervention when it is used for inappropriate purposes.
Fighting disinformation through digital literacy
We can explore these questions together and link them to wider questions of [...] our democratic values.
- Aislinn
Aislinn points out how paramount it is to foster digital literacy. It helps spread knowledge and competences that allow people to safely approach the digital world.
What the EU is doing
Education allows students and teachers the possibility to explore today’s relevant issues and build a common ground on democratic and personal values.
The media and information landscape is constantly evolving. To navigate online media platforms and sources people should be able to tackle disinformation and recognise harmful content.
Cooperation through working groups
We share knowledge, we share ideas, and we have this encounter with the world beyond us.
- Aislinn
For Aislinn, exchanging experiences and sharing best practices is at the core of the European Education Area. The initiative offers online spaces to cooperate and face challenges together.
What the EU is doing
The EU has set up working groups to promote voluntary European cooperation in education. This opportunity allows experts the chance to work together and inspire positive change, making the European Education Area a reality.
