The European Commission is asking citizens for help in making learning mobility in Europe more accessible to and better known by any learner or educator. The citizens’ panel is part of a broader consultation strategy, which aims at gathering opinions and proposals of all interested parties and stakeholders in the framework of the public consultation currently underway until 3 May 2023.

Citizens are invited to take the following points into account:

• The need to include multiple groups of learners and trainers, and in particular, people with fewer opportunities (because of disabilities, health problems, economic, social, geographic and other barriers) and less mobile groups (such as school pupils and teachers, apprentices and trainees, adult learners and educators);
• the need to keep mobility as environmentally friendly as possible in choosing the means of travel and promoting sustainable practices, in order to contribute to the fight against climate change;
• opportunities and challenges that digitization might offer (for example, better use of digital platforms for learning, blending on site and online learning);
• the potential of learning mobility for intercultural dialogue, active citizenship and promotion of common values.
