"Madam President, the diversity of learning structures and educational pathways represents an opportunity for sustainable economic development as well as for personal development of learners and citizens. I know from personal experience that lifelong learning develops creative and critical thinking, helping us to gain in self-confidence, to become problem solvers, entrepreneurs and responsible citizens, and to acquire the intercultural social and transversal skills needed to achieve more inclusive, open and tolerant communities.
We are often asked to equip learners with skills and competences for a world that does not yet exist. Therefore, properly including lifelong learning in our education policy is key, and promoting EU collaboration and harmonisation across Member States is important. In the context of demographic changes, flexible economies and uncertain job markets characterised by increasing digitisation, robotisation and automation of production, we must also embrace the concept of occupational literacy promoting active engagement in arts, citizenship and sport.
Furthermore, we must include refugees, as they have much to offer and they arrive with skills and a desire to contribute."@en1
