Our second episode in this series is ‘Union of Skills: game on!’ – a plan to improve high-quality education, training, and lifelong learning to help workers respond to changes in the economy and stay competitive in the labour market.
The Union of Skills also aims to bridge the gaps in skills that are hindering European competitiveness.
The episode is built around the recent European Social Forum, which featured a demonstration by the EU-supported Megaskills project, demonstrating how gaming can help people of any age to develop soft skills – such as problem-solving, resource management and critical thinking – that employers are increasingly looking for.
Our guests include a partner in the EU Megaskills project, Afonso Araujo; psychologist and researcher Sergio Alloza; European Social Forum youth dialogue participants Jan Holý, Diana Voutyrakou and Miruna-Ioana Sandor; digital skills expert Professor Katriona O’Sullivan; and Mario Nava, director-general of the European Commission’s directorate-general for employment, social affairs and inclusion. -
This episode examines the challenge for policymakers at all levels – European, national, regional and local – of addressing European citizens’ concerns that they and their communities may not benefit from economic, social and technological change. We look at this question from various perspectives with guests including Lars Katzmarek, a German policymaker and rapper chronicling the challenges facing his home state of Brandenburg; researchers James Scott and Žarko Šunderić, both participants in research projects looking at the concept of leftbehindedness from different angles; and Judit Carreras, director of Spain’s Just Transition Institute, who shares with us her country’s pioneering work to ensure that policymaking for the future leaves no-one in the past.
