Webinar ASEM Education Strategy 2030

During the seventh ASEM Education Minister’s Meeting (ASEMME7) last year in Bucharest, the Ministers took the initiative to develop an ASEM Education Strategy for the next decade. The ASEM Education Strategy 2030 aims to provide a common long-term strategy for the ASEM Education Process for enhanced connectivity between Asia and Europe and a framework for developing and implementing initiatives and projects, as well as for analysis, monitoring and evaluation. The Strategy 2030 should also be used to increase visibility and support for more commitment of ASEM Education partners and stakeholders.

State of Play of the drafting process

In February 2020, the first version prepared by the AES and the Drafting Committee was circulated to the members of the Standing Working Group to allow them to provide input and share their feedback. In March-April 2020, the AES and Drafting Committee adapted this first draft in order to take into account the Standing Working Group’s comments and suggestions, thereby defining the first outline of the ASEM Education Process (AEP)’s strategic objectives and strategies for the next decade. In June 2020, this second draft was reviewed once again by the members of the Standing Working Group. Based on their input and comments, the AES and the Drafting Committee have amended the Strategy Document and will now circulate the current version, the third draft, to all partners and stakeholders.

We would now like to give the opportunity to all ASEM Education partners and stakeholders to contribute.

Therefore, The ASEM Education Secretariat will hold a short webinar on 29 October 2020 (10.00-10.45 CET) to provide some background information and briefly present the outline of strategy. This webinar is mostly intended to answer possible questions of partners and stakeholders, who are not part of the Standing Working Group or Drafting Committee. A short Q&A session at the end will allow for some exchanges, however, the actual input collection will be organised following the written procedure described below. If you wish to attend, please register using this link. The webinar recording will be circulated shortly after the event.
