The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the Dutch embassies, Germany and France, want to hold a dialogue to open the door to young people for the future of Europe, Education Minister Prodromos Prodromou said at the event "Building Tomorrow's Europe together: The voice of young people" Open dialogue with students at the Future of Europe Conference, held on Tuesday.
As reported by WFP, Prodromou added that the Ministry of Education from the very first moment took the Future of Europe Conference as a good opportunity to encourage participation and active citizenship, which is also a key pillar of the educational process.
Especially today, when societies are being tested in many ways by the unprecedented pandemic, while young people are admittedly affected in various ways, we definitely need initiatives to strengthen transparency, consultation and participation, he continued.
He also said that in Cyprus, when asked "how much Europe do we want", we generally support unification and want "more Europe", noting that despite the great economic crisis of 2012-13, the extremely difficult decisions and the great test we went through, the Cypriot citizen believes in Europe and invests in the future of cooperation and unification.
The Education Minister further said that the Cyprus Recovery and Resilience Plan includes funding for education amounting to €100 million.
