On the occasion of the 2022 Edition of the FREREF Day, we are pleased to invite you to two different events by the end of May.
The first one is an online Side event that will be held on 23rd May from 10.30 to 12.30 by the Special Interest Group to discuss about “Policy initiatives to make school an inclusive learning environment”.
Since Fondation des Régions Européennes pour la Recherche, l’Education, et la Formation (FREREF) has been involved in the development of the CHILD-UP project for three years, this event is an opportunity to exchange about what should be done to make schools an inclusive learning environment based on the findings of the project and on the experience in the field of inclusion, education or research. In the Special Interest Group discussion, CHILD-UP would constitute the starting point of the debate. If you are interested in attending the event you can register here and find the full programme at the following link.
The second event is a two half-days session that will be held on 24th and 25th of May in Brussels to celebrate the FREREF Day on “The regions and Europe in support of transitions”. The workshop will discuss with territorial and European stakeholders the main crucial aspects of transitions with a focus on digital transformation, mobility and personal transitions driven by a sustainable society.
The registration to the event is available here.

Five years after the end of the Second World War, European governments, hoping to recover from the devastating consequences of the war, came up with the first specific plan for the creation of a European community.
On 9thMay 1950, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman, in his visionary speech, proposed the creation of the ambitius plan to secure long-term peace in post-war Europe, which called for the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community one year later. In this way, member states would pool production of these raw materials in order to avoid future wars.
Robert Schuman’s visionary speech is commemorated every year on Europe Day, the 9th of May, as the anniversary of the ‘Schuman Declaration‘ and the beginning of what is now the European Union.
The European Day is a call for the renewal of the democracy among the European states about the war in Ukraine and also a call to remember that 2022 is officially the European Year of Youth, which aims to foster democratic awareness and engagement among young people. Promoting the importance of the voice of youth together with an inclusive citizenship education will give young people the opportunity to shape their future. In this respect, the Education Inspiring Peace Laboratory aims to promote democratic citizenship and the integration of all children into the european education systems.
On this occasion, after months of intense deliberations, the final Conference on the Future of Europe was held in Strasbourg, presenting a report on the final outcome including 49 proposals to the three EU institutions. This event constituted an unprecedented experience of transnational deliberative democracy as well as its historical importance in the context of global crisis and worldwide conflicts. The video of the conference is available at the following link.
Celebrating Europe day means continuing to honour the peace achieved as a result of the decades-long collective effort, defined by John Hume as the best example in the history of conflict resolution.
Happy Europe Day to everyone!
