Help us improve Erasmus+

Erasmus plusEuropean Civil Society Platform on Lifelong Learning (EUCIS-LLL) makes an annual review of the Erasmus+ programme implementation and shares its results with policy-makers to enhance the application process and the content of the programme.
This survey is conducted by EUCIS-LLL to evaluate how beneficiaries such as you have experienced the 2nd round of applications of the Erasmus+ programme: what do you think of Erasmus+? are you satisfied with its new features? what problems did you encounter? what suggestions for improvement would you make?

Answering the questions should not take you more than 15 to 30 minutes of your time and will contribute greatly to improve the programme. You have until 15 August to answer the survey.

Waves of Democracy 2015

Waves of DemocracyThe Summer Academy Waves of Democracy 2015 – will be held in Soenderborg DK in July for the fifth time, following seminars in Rhodes/Brandbjerg, Novi Sad, Belgrade and Soenderborg. We now have a base at The University of Southern DK, Alsion – a great venue in the border region of Slesvig Holsten.

Up to 100 young people from more than 25 countries in Europe, the US, Russia and the Middle East will meet to further develop a platform for dialogue, discuss scenarios for an intercultural Europe, create narratives in the form of storytelling, and interact with inhabitants and tourists. To combine “old-fashioned” political discussion with new tools of creativity and performance.
We hope to set up models and agendas for inspiration and work, at a time when euroscepticism is rising. Important topics will be : Environment and Sustainability, Migration and Mobility and History and Memory, topics which will be dealt with in a variety of forms, and hopefully will provide new input for the ongoing discussion of how to support and strengthen civil society and give young people a stronger voice in the decision-making.

The seminar is conducted in cooperation with local partners, The Municipality of Soenderborg, The University of Southern Denmark and New Europe as well as with EUNET partners: Centre Européen Robert Schuman, Maison de l´Europe de Rennes et Haute Bretagne, Europa-Haus Marienberg, The House of Europe in Rhodes, EUTIS and MEP Serbia.
It is sponsored by funds and the Erasmus+ program.

Europa geht auch einfach

Europa in leichter SpracheBei der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung/bpb ist das Heft “Europa” in der Reihe “einfach Politik” in Leichter Sprache erschienen, damit alle Menschen in unserer Gesellschaft die Möglichkeit bekommen, sich über die Funktionsweise der EU zu informieren.
In zehn Kapiteln auf 31 Seiten werden in kurzen Sätzen, großer Schrift und mit vielen Bildern Themen wie Umweltschutz, Reisen, Währung und Arbeiten in der Europäischen Union behandelt.

Sprachliche Hürden sollen kein Hinderungsgrund sein, grundlegende Informationen über die Europäische Union zu bekommen. Grundsätzlich sollen durch Angebote in Leichter Sprache sprachliche Hürden für diejenigen abgebaut werden, die Alltagssprache, Amtsdeutsch oder auch Fachjargon nicht oder nur schwer verstehen.
