Welcome speeches
Our world faces unprecedented geopolitical and societal challenges. These require us to join forces to tackle youth unemployment, improve basic skills – including digital – and help every young person make a positive contribution to our societies. The European Education Area and the Digital Education Action Plan are fundamental to this: supporting Europe’s recovery and its future growth, and putting young people first so that they have access to high quality education.
This commitment concerns us all as policymakers, educators, learners and wider society

Digital transformation in learning? What it is and how can we make the best use of it in our European Education Area?

Panelists will also look at whether and how Covid may have a long term or permanent impact on education. How different will education be compared to the world before Covid?
