Youth on the Move' debate with the Commissioner

'Youth on the Move' is one of the flagship initiatives of the Commission's EU 2020 strategy and will be launched on September 15.

We are very interested in what you think about the initiative and about learning mobility in general. This is why a public debate has been organised on September 17 in Brussels. It will be webstreamed so that any person can participate in the debate from any place in Europe.

You'll be able to either simply follow the debate online, ask questions in real time via a chat tool or submit questions in advance. The mailbox for your early contributions will be open from September 15. All relevant links will be available at http://ec.europa.eu/commission_2010-2014/vassiliou/events/debate_en.htm in early September.
