European Citizens’ Learning Mobility Panel

21 Suggestions for Enabling Universal Learning Opportunities Abroad

From 28 to 30 April, the European Commission convened a Citizens’ Panel in Brussels for the conclusive deliberation session on expanding learning opportunities abroad for all individuals. The citizens’ proposals materialized into 21 specific recommendations aimed at facilitating the mobility of students, educators, and staff across different countries.

With the overarching objective of enhancing accessibility in the learning landscape, the panel’s suggestions emphasize the significance of raising awareness about opportunities and promoting the involvement of individuals facing fewer prospects. They also address the implications and challenges associated with digitalization while exploring sustainable solutions to minimize the environmental impact of mobility.

During three weekends in March and April, 150 individuals representing diverse age groups and backgrounds from all 27 Member States engaged in discussions and identified barriers to learning mobility abroad.

The participants highlighted key areas for improvement and prioritized solutions to broaden access and participation in educational experiences abroad, irrespective of age or field of study. These solutions encompassed various domains, including school education, vocational training, higher education, adult learning, and non-formal learning settings.

These recommendations will contribute to the Commission’s proposal for a Council recommendation, scheduled for later in 2023. They will also provide a framework for the Commission to address incentives and obstacles related to learning mobility.

High-stakes testing of children at school has created pressure-filled school settings negatively impacting student health and happiness and positioning learning as a means to future success, rather than a lifelong practice.
