On the 7^th of May, EUCIS-LLL, the European Youth Forum and the S&D Group organised a policy debate in the framework of the Commission’s communication “Rethinking Education: Investing in Education for better socio-economic outcomes”. “Rethinking Education” emphasises the need for a collaborative work with all relevant stakeholders as a “systematic part of the policy approach”. The idea of this policy debate is to share ideas and experiences on how this partnership approach for lifelong learning takes shape and to look at concrete ways to support it. It brought together representatives of civil society, social partners and decision-makers.
