Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, Tibor Navracsics, who will attend the meeting, said: “Now more than ever, we need to build cohesive communities, and find ways to live together as a society. Education helps us to understand and accept our differences, overcome alienation, and create belonging and inclusion. I hope to see all of the education ministers in Paris so that we can show solidarity and start a debate on the role education can play - and how Europe can make a difference.”
The meeting is a joint initiative of the French government, the European Commission and the Latvian EU Presidency.
