The 12th International Stakeholder Conference of Priority Area 9 “People and Skills” of the European Union Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) was take place on 23 May 2024, focusing on the critical challenges and opportunities associated with the fair, green, and digital transitions in the labour market and education systems across the Danube Region.
We were also pleased to have the Inclusion4Schools project participate in the event, contributing valuable insights and initiatives on fostering inclusive education.
Hosted by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy and the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research of the Republic of Austria, this pivotal conference is a cornerstone event of the 2024 Austrian Presidency of the EUSDR. The conference will be conducted on-site in English, with participants encouraged to bring forward questions, ideas, and initiatives.
The conference will explore four primary themes reshaping the labour market and education in the Danube Region:
Within the framework of the EUSDR, Priority Area 9 “People and Skills” provides a crucial platform for addressing these challenges. This priority area emphasizes labour market dynamics and education policies, serving as a foundation for initiatives, projects, and policies. It also contextualizes broader European strategies such as the European Green Deal, the European Pillar of Social Rights, and the European Skills Agenda within a regional framework.
The EUSDR plays an essential role in fostering a more inclusive and cohesive Europe, creating a level playing field for EU Member States and candidate countries. Given the ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, the importance of coordinated efforts in labour and education policies cannot be overstated. Priority Area 9, jointly coordinated by Austria, Ukraine, and the Republic of Moldova, exemplifies innovative cooperation with emerging candidate countries.
