Policy priorities and/or reform opportunities in Estonia and Lithuania In Estonia and Lithuania increasing numbers of newly arrived migrants and returning nationals has emphasized the importance of an inclusive education system. Furthermore, long-living cultural minorities in both countries contribute to the diverse linguistic and cultural landscape in the region. This calls for policymakers and education institutions to take specific measures to facilitate the integration of children with a migrant background. The education systems in Estonia and Lithuania face several challenges related to migrant education. One of them is uneven school preparedness to address the needs of diverse learners and teachers lacking competences and skills to deal with diversity in the classroom. The latter aspect is of utmost importance as the success of migrant inclusion in education system in many ways relies on pedagogues and professional support staff in schools. Thus, a growing number of newly arrived immigrants and returnees highlights the importance of multicultural competence and language awareness to be introduced systematically in teacher education programmes. This has become an important policy priority in both Estonia and Lithuania, though the issue has been addressed inconsistently to date. Both Estonia and Lithuania have undergone various reforms in higher education and teacher training over the past years.

As the lifecycle of any EU Proposal of any description is very long, it is important to know where to target any activity at any given moment. Each institution is very powerful and influential at certain moments and very much a spectator at other moments. We hope that this guide will help serve as a map of the Brussels maze.

  • Brussels' European Quarter
    Philippe Van Parijs is a philosopher and a Brusseler. He teaches at the Universities of Louvain and Leuven. PVP’S COLUMN BRUSSELS’ 1. The birthplace of the EUROPEAN Treaty of Rome Val-Duchesse, July 1956 – February 1957 Signed in March 1957, the Treaty of Rome created QUARTER the European Economic Community, the ancestor of the European Union. It was devised by a task force consisting of delegates from the six future WHY IN BRUSSELS? member states, headed by Belgium’s foreign min- ister Paul-Henri Spaak. The task force met in the castle of Val Duchesse, in the Brussels suburb of WHY IN THIS Auderghem. In this sense, the European Econom- ic Community was conceived in Brussels. But this NEIGHBOURHOOD? does not explain why it settled here. oth visitors and locals may sometimes wonder why Brus- sels became the political capital of the European Union. They may also wonder why the European institutions landed in an area that did not exactly seem predisposed Bto such a massive invasion. A new poster display on platform 2 of Schuman Station will attempt to address this sort of perplexity. People waiting for a train, whether delayed or not, will have the opportunity to discover the European Quarter before “Europe” and learn about the crucial episodes that made it what it has become today. In the process, they may come to understand why the quarter looks so chaotic. Little could be planned as long as no one knew what sort of thing the “Communities” were going to become and where their seats would eventually be located.

  • The Lithuanian Presidency of the EU Council the Last Night Before The
    1 July 2013 The Lithuanian Presidency of the EU Council 1 July – 31 December 2013 The last night before the exams Busy agenda for first time Presidency Lithuania, a rather recent EU Member having joined the EU in 2004, has a fully packed programme for a short and challenging first time Presidency mandate. Punctuated by summer and winter holidays and much affected by the intra-institutional changes next year, there is high pressure on the Lithuanians to finalise as much work as possible on a vast array of different policy areas before the EU is forced to slowdown for the EU elections and Commission changes in 2014. Official logo of the Lithuanian Presidency: The blue EU circle as a symbol of unity Remembering how students usually spend the last night linked by the garland of the Lithuanian before the exams the next day provides a good idea of national flag’s colours – yellow, green, and the coming six months lying ahead for the Lithuanians. Above all, the Lithuanian Presidency will strive for three goals, the first being a credible, growing and open Europe. To realise this objective, developing the Banking Union and progressing on financial market reforms will be important from a Presidency perspective, as well as addressing tax evasion in order to restore citizens’ confidence. In this perspective, finalising the legal framework on the EU budget for 2014-2020 and reaching an agreement on the EU budget for next year will also be among the top priorities of the Presidency. For the second objective, reinforcement of the Single Market policy as well as the effective implementation of the The Lithuanian Presidency’s Compact for Growth and Jobs is foreseen by the incoming credo: “Work on files that Presidency.
