The Policy Area Coordinator team for PA Education has now been enlarged by Ida Berg, Norden Association, as Communication Officer, as well as Merle Andraschko, Senate Chancellery of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, as co-Policy Area Coordinator. We are looking forward to a fruitful cooperation. 

Our last Steering Group Meeting took place in a hybrid format in Stockholm mid-June, where members were updated on the status of the ongoing flagships under PA Education: for instance, the governance of the School to Work flagship has recently been strengthened by a new advisory board with experts from respective line ministries in the Member States. 21 participants have completed the Coordinator Training Programme for One-Stop Youth Guidance Centres delivering integrated services to young adults not in education, employment, or training organised within this flagship. In this context, we cordially invite you to the final conference in this project to be held in Stockholm on 13 September 2022. Please find the programme enclosed. Welcome to register for the conference following this LINK. Please register as soon as possible and not later than on 25 August 2022.

                          

The Baltic Sea Labour Forum recently held a Round Table in Turku where a conference also concluded the project “BSLF – Sustainable Working Life”. Furthermore, members exchanged on the integration of Ukrainian citizens into the labour markets in Member States and discussed the role of members of the Steering Group when it comes to implementation on the national level. As of July 1^st, Sweden will take over the Presidency of the Steering Group. We would like to express our thanks to the outgoing Lithuanian Presidency.
