CULTURE / COMMISSION: Europe needs to build a Digital Single Market in which the cultural sector can thrive On 30 September in Brussels, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, Tibor Navracsics, addressed attendees at the European Broadcasting Union 17th Sports Assembly. He stressed the need for building a true Digital Single Market that will allow the European digital sector to flourish. “My

priority is to make sure that the cultural and creative sectors – including the audio-visual media industry – thrive in the digital space. In particular, I want public service broadcasters to be able to effectively fulfil their duties such as promoting culture,” said the Commissioner. The Digital Market Strategy, a priority for policy makers in Brussels, has immense potential to boost Europe's cultural sector and strengthen its cultural diversity. According to the Commissioner, it will be key for policy to get four central elements

right: the rules on copyright, portability, geoblocking and audio-visual services. The Commissioner also Latest EU Policy called for balance between public interest and market needs when regulating the audio-visual sector. He Developments believes one aspect of this balance is the European "dual" system for audio-visual broadcasting - in which public service broadcasters and commercial broadcasters exist side by side and complement each other. “The environment has been profoundly changed by the digital shift. We will need to create a level-playing field between traditional broadcasters and other providers who offer similar services, such as streaming,” said the Commissioner.

CULTURE / COMMISSION & COUNCIL OF EUROPE:

Increasing visibility for Europe’s Industrial Heritage at European Heritage Days 2015 During the month of September, Europe examined its shared past through the unique lens of its industrial heritage with more than 30 countries joining this common theme for the 2015 edition of European Heritage Days. Throughout Europe the remains of its industrial past are visible everywhere: bridges, canals and railways, many still in use today and making invaluable contributions to the economy. However, in most countries there are signs of long-gone industry – a derelict mill, a rusting machine, a brick chimney - all

marking the sites of a once-thriving workplace and community. By focusing on this theme, European Latest EU Policy Heritage Days used the industrial past to tell the story of change, development and creativity and of how Developments and where Europeans worked, the kinds of jobs and how citizens lived. More than 20 million people participated in over 50,000 heritage events across Europe, each highlighting the historic economic links Europeans share through the vast legacy of industrial heritage sites. Launched in 1985, the European Heritage Days have been organised since 1999 as a joint initiative of the European Commission and the Council of Europe. With cultural heritage also as a priority under Creative Europe, the European Heritage Days received €200,000 in support from Creative Europe and €200,000 from the Council of Europe with additional funding from national and regional backers.

CULTURE / PRESIDENCY: Culture is the “hidden gem” in making Europe a stronger global actor On 3 and 4 September 2015, the Luxembourg Presidency of the Council of the EU organised a conference in Luxembourg, entitled "Culture and development: towards a more strategic approach to cultural policies in the EU's external relations". The aim of the conference, which brought together forty European and international speakers, was to give insight into the way in which culture and development interact, and also to raise questions about the coherence of cultural policies and cooperation in development. The European Commissioner responsible for Culture, Education and Sport, Tibor Navracsics, stressed that culture was an "integral part" of the EU's work with regard to sustainable development. “We are witnessing a real paradigm shift. ‘Cultural diplomacy’ is moving away from merely showcasing the excellence of a country. Instead, it is becoming a process of mutual learning and ‘co- creation’ based on equal partnerships,” he said. The Commissioner mentioned the EU is trying to develop this aspect of its foreign policy, adding that culture can facilitate dialogue and improve understanding between people in situations where terrorism threatens to divide. To conclude the conference,

Luxembourg's Minister for Culture, Maggy Nagel, remarked that the debate showed the need "to put a Latest EU Policy

political vision at the heart of the culture and development strategy by coming up with a European process Developments for this topic, or on the link between culture and external relations". She also claimed "that there is a need to systematise the co-construction of strategies and programmes with partners and those who receive" development assistance.

CULTURE & EDUCATION / PARLIAMENT: Cultural diversity and education recognised for capacity to foster mutual understanding in Europe On 15 September in Brussels, the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education held a hearing to discuss the role of intercultural dialogue, cultural diversity, and education in promoting EU fundamental values. Led by the Committee’s chair and MEP, Silvia Costa, this hearing brought together policy makers, decision makers, and experts in culture and education to debate ways to foster mutual understanding. Ms. Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO was invited as a special guest to address the Committee on the role of UNESCO for the protection and promotion of cultural diversity. During her presentation, Ms. Bokova highlighted UNESCO’s cooperation with the European Union, particularly in the

fight against illicit trafficking, the protection of cultural heritage, and the response to emergency situations. Latest EU Policy “With the support of the European Union, UNESCO is working to bring education in refugee camps in Developments Jordan, in Syria and in Iraq to support young populations, who are extremely vulnerable and easy targets of criminal groups,” said the Director-General, stressing that “I have seen the impact on these programmes on the ground, these are the projects we can duplicate and scale up.” Ms. Bokova’s presentation was followed by leading experts and academics who discussed related topics such as the increasing importance of interreligious competence, combating intolerance and promoting diversity in education, and the role of culture responsive spatial research in higher education and professional capacity building for stronger communities.

EDUCATION / COMMISSION: EU urges for a new, more inclusive vision of education and training up to 2020 On 1 September in Brussels, a joint report published by the Commission and Member States called for making European education and training systems more socially inclusive. This report comes as part of the

wider efforts to tackle radicalisation following the 2015 attacks in Paris and Copenhagen. Tibor Latest EU Policy

Navracsics, EU Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, said: “Young Europeans are Developments facing common challenges that need joint responses. The threat of radicalisation shows how urgently we need to improve education prospects across all our communities." The report for the implementation of the strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training (ET2020) proposes a sharper policy focus to better address these challenges. The six new priorities identified in the report include improving people's skills and employment prospects and creating open, innovative and digital learning environments, while at the same time cultivating fundamental values of equality, non-discrimination and active citizenship. “Youth Employment is a top priority for this Commission. Relevant and high-quality skills are needed more than ever to find a job today. Better cooperation in education and training will help to raise skills and competence levels to tackle skills mismatches and thus support young Europeans to successfully enter the labour market," said Marianne Thyssen, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs, Skills and Labour Mobility. Education and Training 2020 (ET 2020) is a cooperation tool for

EDUCATION / COMMISSION: EU action in education, science and research to boost our regions and cities On 28 September in Brussels, at the 11th Conference of European Regions and Cities on "Survival strategies for Regions and Cities in Europe" the European Commission presented how EU actions and programmes are playing specific roles in fostering innovation and growth in the regions. With the EU’s Latest EU Policy

priority to boost economic growth and job creation, Tibor Navracsics, European Commissioner for Developments Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, highlighted how education systems and institutions have a vital role to play: “Education equips people with what Europe's cities and regions need: knowledge, skills, and, of course, competence. And education nurtures inspiration, creativity, as well as the spirit of enterprise.” He explained how different EU actions are committed to helping researchers to move and work across Europe. For example, through the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions long-term connections are being created between vital regional knowledge hubs in different countries. Another cited example, is the integration of the 'Knowledge Triangle' - higher education, research and innovation - through the Knowledge and Innovation Communities or KICs. The EU also has instruments that can help higher education institutions in better defining their role in regional innovation capacity and specialisation strategies. For higher education institutions to fully understand their strengths and weaknesses, the Commission, in cooperation with the OECD, has launched the self-assessment tool HEInnovate. This tool

helps higher education institutions know their entrepreneurial capabilities and to see where improvements can be made.

EDUCATION / COMMISSION: Education to play a key role for ensuring integration of refugees and migrants in Europe On 30 September in Brussels at the 30th European Students' Convention, the European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, Tibor Navracsics, outlined how the EU helps Member States reform their education systems and highlighted how this cooperation is crucial in tackling a most pressing challenge: how to integrate the many refugees and migrants coming to Europe. While all levels of education play a role, the Commissioner remarked that “higher education has particular answers to offer –

by activating the solidarity that is one of the fundamental traits of the academic world.” He cited examples of universities setting up special courses for refugee students to continue their education or ways for assessing students who arrive without documents. However, more needs to be done to pool these ideas and best practice and to share them throughout the EU so universities, teachers, and students can learn from each other and scale up successful initiatives. The Commissioner also announced plans for the European Commission to host a meeting of recognition centres from across Europe. The EU wants to Latest EU Policy

support those who make it possible for students to continue their education or map their qualifications as Developments quickly and as smoothly as possible. This meeting is only the beginning. Policy makers are also examining the best ways to step up support for asylum seekers and refugees through Erasmus+ and in policy support to governments. “We need to join forces and act together to promote tolerance, non-discrimination, fundamental freedoms and solidarity throughout the EU. And we need higher education to lead the way,” concluded the Commissioner.
