Season's Greetings
As 2022 draws to a close and we look back on a year that has seen an unprecedented resurgence of conflict, division and exclusion around the world, it is important to remind ourselves of some of the positive highlights of the ETF’s year –
the ETF’s ongoing engagement in 28 countries in the EU‘s neighbouring regions providing policy advice and support for education, skills and employment, the ETF’s Green Skills Awards, the Innovative Teaching and Learning Awards, the launch of the DARYA regional project in Central Asia and the involvement of the ETF at COP 27, to name just a few.
Throughout this year, the ETF has continued to build partnerships and networks for collaboration in the EU’s neighbouring regions. The support given to countries to make meaningful changes and developments will effectively prepare everyone to give them the skills they need to thrive and become active and engaged citizens.
In 2023, the year that has been nominated as the European Year of Skills, the ETF will dedicate its January and February communication campaign to the importance of inclusion to help societies better manage the challenges of the future, and seize the opportunities posed by the digital and green transitions, making sure that nobody is left behind.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our readers, partners, contributors and colleagues in our partner countries, Europe and beyond for following us throughout this year, and to extend our best wishes for the festive period and the New Year.
Season’s greetings from us all at the ETF.
