We will consult the Euroguidance Network on the new Europass initiative, including the e-Portfolio,
and hope to develop a tool that can be well used in the work of the Network to support mobility and
learning. The Europass portal will include information on guidance services and learning opportunities
and Euroguidance experience will be crucial in helping us to best design these features.
Finally, we are looking forward to the next generation of Erasmus. In the Commission’s proposal for the
future EU budget, the new “investing in people” strand brings together programmes including Erasmus
and the European Social Fund, accompanied by ambitious budgets. The Commission’s proposal for the
future ESF budget is around 100 billion, and for Erasmus around 30 billion: a doubling compared to
today. Whether mobility actions, policy experimentation, or partnerships across borders, there will be
opportunities to test out, develop new approaches, and learn across borders.
I welcome the commitment and expertise of the Euroguidance Network and look forward to our work
together in 2019.
