Erasmus+ supporting language learning

Erasmus+Erasmus+ Online Linguistic Support (OLS) is the new online tool for learning languages on-the-go.

The OLS offers participants in Erasmus+ long-term mobility activities (Key Action 1) the opportunity to assess their skills in the foreign language(s) they will use to study, work or volunteer abroad. In addition, selected participants may follow an online language course to improve their competence.

Erasmus+ participants can benefit from OLS in different ways. Before they set off, they can assess their language level online.
Once this has been done, Erasmus+ participants can access online materials, courses and language learning forums so that they can improve their language level. After their Erasmus+ experience, participants have the opportunity to assess the progress they made.

OLS is currently available in German, English, Spanish, French, Italian and Dutch. By 2020, Erasmus+ aims to have language learning online up-and-running for all official EU languages.

Samstag, 5. September bis Montag, 14. September 2015

SBW Studienfahrt Polen 2015Unmittelbar vor unserer Haustür liegt Polen, das größte „neue“ Land der Europäischen Union.
Wie eine Reisegruppe von EUNET, Europa Zentrum Baden-Württemberg und Salzburger Bildungswerk bereits 2014 im Norden des Landes feststellen konnte, hat sich dort sehr viel getan – auch im Südwesten bzw. Süden des Landes, wohin die Studienfahrt in diesem Jahr führen wird:
Was einmal grau war, ist einer munteren Frische gewichen, und mit der EU-Mitgliedschaft ist uns das Land politisch näher gerückt.

European Youth Event EYE2016

EYE 2016Buckle up for EYE2016, the second edition of the European Youth Event for and by young people, happening on 20-21 May 2016 in Strasbourg.

Remember EYE2014, those three inspiring days with more than 6,000 young participants from all over Europe gathered together to come up with ideas for a better Europe? Well, you haven’t seen anything yet!
From 20-21 May 2016, the European Parliament is opening its doors once again to even more young Europeans in Strasbourg, with five new themes:

  • War and peace: Perspectives for a peaceful planet
  • Apathy or participation: Agenda for a vibrant democracy
  • Exclusion or access: Crackdown on youth unemployment
  • Stagnation or innovation: Tomorrow’s world of work
  • Collapse or success: New ways for a sustainable Europe.

Programme

Through hundreds of new engaging activities – from idea checks, debates, and hearings to Ideas Labs, workshops, and digital games, as well as the European Youth Forum’s YO!Fest, concerts, and other artistic performances – 7,000 young people will have the opportunity to meet and discuss with European decision-makers and come up with innovative ideas on how “Together, we can make a change”. And not to forget, they will have fun and enjoy the cultural diversity in Europe.
