On June 19th, the Lifelong Learning Platform held its annual General Assembly in Brussels. It brought together the whole membership to approve of reports and plans, as well as to elect new representatives and engage in forward-looking discussions.
The General Assembly approved without reserves financial reports and programmatic documents. It also elected new members of the Steering Committee, our administrative body. Elisa Gambardella (SOLIDAR Foundation) and Piotr Sadowski (Volonteurope) were confirmed for a second mandate; Chiara Piccolo (Learning for Well-Being Foundation) was elected as a new member of the Steering Committee, effectively replacing Arja Krauchenberg (European Parents' Association), whose second and last mandate came to an end. The whole Lifelong Learning Platform wishes to thank Arja for her unwavering energy and commitment to advancing the role of LLLP, even serving as President in 2020/2021. The membership also confirmed Elisa Gambardella as President of LLLP for the remainder of her mandate.
Members also gathered to discuss the new advocacy strategy of LLLP, the overarching document guiding our advocacy actions, With their precious inputs, LLLP will seek to strengthen its role as the unique civil society organisation for all sectors of education and training in the EU policy arena for the years to come.
