The corona crisis must be dealt with now, its economic fall-out must be forecast now, and the recovery must be planned for and supported now. Because of its pivotal role in the fields of labour market, vocational training and skills intelligence, Cedefop will have to deliver critical contributions to the post-coronavirus recovery efforts of the European Union – starting now. That is why we have started generating coronavirus-related results and findings in our field – helping policy-makers to assess the impact of the crisis on VET systems and how the latter can be used to overcome the former. Our first outputs are collected in this newsletter.

The first of the six monthly stimulus papers on key areas in the EcCoWell 2 Community Recovery Program has been released today. The paper titled Building Inclusive Resilient Learning Neighbourhoods in EcCoWell 2  covers innovations in local neighbourhoods guided by EcCoWell 2 integration ideas.
