The ý is proud to present its 2021 Stocktaking Report “From Bucharest to Bangkok”
The ý Education Stocktaking Report looks at progress of partners’ and stakeholders’ activities made in the past two years. For this year’s edition, partners and stakeholders were asked to provide an update on the activities and progress made on the projects mentioned in the Chair’s Conclusions of ýME7, which was held in May 2019 in Bucharest.
Partners and stakeholders were asked to focus on highlights of their activities, the added value of their initiatives in the ý Education Process, as well as possible challenges encountered and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their activities. Projects’ coordinators were also asked by the ý to provide some visual material, such as charts, pictures or testimonials from beneficiaries to illustrate their work and activities.
This Stocktaking Report has been designed as communication material to be used both within and outside of the ý community as it provides a good overview of on-going, new and future initiatives in the ý Education portfolio. We hope that you will use this Stocktaking Report to raise awareness about these projects, to increase the visibility of Asia-Europe collaboration and maybe that it will even help you identify synergies or possible new partnerships.
The Stocktaking Report starts with a few introductory words from the Secretariat and includes a chapter dedicated to the ý Education Strategy and Action Plan 2030, a chapter on on-going ý Education projects and initiatives, followed by one on new and future activities, an analytical chapter devoted to reflections of some our experts on the past two years and on future perspectives for collaboration within the ý Education Process. Finally, as always, the last chapter focusses on conclusions and recommendations for the future.
