This document discusses a presentation given to the Directors of National Agencies of the Erasmus+/Youth in Action programme about refugees, radicalization, racism, and European values. The presentation argues that conflating these issues risks undermining the value of the programme for European citizenship education. While it is important for the programme to consider its role regarding these complex issues, its role should not be preventing radicalism or teaching refugees values. There are more appropriate roles the programme could play, such as expressing solidarity with refugees and being a constructive force in the divisive political climate.

Abstract:
In light of the recent ‘tourism-phobia’, there is a need to better understand how tourism could be transformed through new business and social models. Attempts have been made, for example, to identify which experimental tourism models would align with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Nonetheless, research remains scant and the policy paradigm slightly out of date. With the pervasive proliferation of tourism services provided by big tech multinationals such as AirBnB and Uber and the rapid algorithmic disruption of the so-called “sharing economy” paradigm, several European cities and regions are seeking to mitigate the negative side-effects caused by “platform capitalism” in their neighborhoods and local communities. These side-effects include gentrification, privatization of public space, inherent conflicts between visitors/tourists and residents/locals, environmental damage, and precarious working conditions, among others. Thus, this paper explores why tourism in Europe requires new business and social models to neutralise this algorithmic disruption and modify the extractivist neoliberal logic in tourism to develop new, transformative, techno-political, bottom-up, and networked strategies stemming from the city-regional realm. Against the backdrop of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU that has recently taken effect on 25 May 2018, this paper argues that a new, transformative, tourism paradigm could emerge from the European political left. The push of the city-regional resurgence beyond established nation-states could enable grassroots and institutional tourism initiatives to take the lead and coordinate a political response to achieve further sustainable, equitable, and, ultimately, democratic technological sovereignty in diverse localities through Europe. In conclusion, this paper posits city-regional, bottom-up, and networked dynamics characterised by the GDPR as an opportunity to establish a new techno-political paradigm in tourism by overcoming data and algorithmic extractivist practices.

This introduction provides context for the publication by summarizing the resituating culture seminar that motivated it. The seminar aimed to analyze and critique dominant understandings of culture in contemporary discourse that often portray it in static, essentialist terms. It argues culture is commonly instrumentalized in political rhetoric in ways that marginalize intersections of identity and experiences. The introduction asserts the concept of culture requires ongoing resituating within shifting discourses to engage with today's complex cultural flows and politics in a way that historicizes, contextualizes and critiques its disputed meanings. The goal is not to redefine culture but acknowledge its discursive nature and varying senses across realities and modernities in Europe.

The course objectives are to enhance awareness of cultural diversity, understand challenges and address them, and discuss strategies to promote cultural understanding in higher education. The instructor, Helen Chua Balderama, has 14 years of experience in education, public policy, and international cooperation across 4 countries working to increase cultural exchange.
Chinese companies can open subsidiaries or branches in Italy without requiring an Italian shareholder or director. Directors do not need a visa or permit to be appointed but may need one to live in Italy if the company is over 3 years old. Directors must have an Italian tax code even if they do not live in Italy. A company does not need a physical office at incorporation but can use a lawyer or accountant's office as its registered address. Opening a bank account can be difficult due to strict Italian and European money laundering regulations which require banks and professionals to verify customer identities and ownership structures and monitor transactions for suspicious activity.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

16. SPEAKERS – Friday 17th January
Linda van Andel has a passion for connecting ideas and people, and she is
really into innovation through collaboration leveraging diversity and
inclusion. Her pan-European background has given her the basis to explore
many different jobs in different places. As a consequence, she has acquired a
broad base of experience and skills, some very business, but mostly related to
the behaviour of people in teams. She is investing her talents in what makes
her most happy: helping others to become entrepreneurs of their own talent.
