Is AI coming for our jobs? Will it cause mass unemployment or open a huge door to new kinds of work? Must we all reskill? How should schools and universities prepare? Can AI free us from routine tasks and make life more meaningful? If so, how do we motivate workers to take on jobs AI cannot do? Do we need Unconditional Basic Income (UBI)? And what role should EU policy play in this major labour market transformation?

We will ask these questions to Dragoș Adăscăliței, Research Officer at the EU agency Eurofound (European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions). Dragoș studies the future of work: the impact of AI on jobs and the effects of automation on employment.

How good are you at geo-guessing European cities? Many of our community members used the MeetEU summer break to discover new horizons. They explored, hiked, and enjoyed towns and places they had never seen before, taking in what Europe has to offer. We asked them to share some pictures with us. And now it is up to you to guess where they have been.

We invite you to join our community event and geo-guess some of the vacation destinations of our community.

It’s the year 2025.
Social media is dominated by the US and China.
The entire world uses their apps.

…The entire world?

Not quite.

A small, determined team of European idealists is pushing back – and aiming big: Social Media, Made in Europe.

Led by Christos Floros, they’re building an alternative to Instagram and Facebook – no addictive algorithms, no endless ads, no hidden political bias. At least, that’s how Christos describes it.

But can it actually work?
What features will it offer?
And what does a “human-first” social media platform really look like?

We’re talking to Christos to find out – and you’re invited.

Finding money to enable young people to meet and learn together can sometimes be a real challenge. But good news: In many cases, ERASMUS+ can help out. And it might be easier to benefit from it than you think.

Together with Katarina from the European Commission, we will delve into the world of grant applications and calls. She will provide us with a concise overview of the various ways ERASMUS+ can support the realization of your youth project idea.

The best: Katarina has years of experience! Don’t forget to write down your questions, as we will host a Q&A session with her after her presentation.
