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.

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

  • 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.

ME Yvelines – EU project “CitiPart – Cities’ Partnership against extremism and populism”

ME YvelinesCitiPart “Cities’ Partnership against extremism and populism” is meant to be an interactive network, discussing and reacting on current social and political events on local as well as on European level. Members of the network are towns, Europe Houses, European organisations well known in their countries for their involvement in active citizenship, town twinning committees and youth organisations. The close cooperation with local councillors will give the possibility not only to develop projects but also to carry them out with their help.

An extremely low turnout in the European and other national elections, a bad social and economic situation, growing unemployment, especially youth unemployment, and a general tendency not to trust politicians any more are a fertile soil for the constant raise of various populisms and extremisms.

CitiPart wants to react against those increasing tendencies throughout discussions and interactive workshops about the three fundamental European values which are SOLIDARITY, TOLERANCE and PEACE, foster the intergenerational dialogue and revitalize the exchange between citizens and their local councillors.

CitiPart is co-funded by the Europe for Citizens programme.
