Financed by €96 million from the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) and €20 million from the Polish government, this programme aims to recruit intercultural assistants, train teachers and improve mental health care. Ms Mînzatu also took part in a Youth Policy Dialogue to discuss issues such as disinformation and digital skills. These discussions will feed into the revision of the Commission’s action plan for digital education, on the eve of the informal meeting of EU education ministers (see other news). (NP)
