COVID and war on the European continent have profoundly changed European society and its needs. This participatory lab aims to discuss creative solutions based on previously unexplored approaches. Two EU macroregional strategies for the Danube and Baltic Sea regions jointly consider the role of upskilling and innovative approaches in designing solutions for the recovery and future of the European macroregions. The session also tackles ESF+ financial capacities in dealing with these issues.

Session summary
On 10 October, we held a session within the European Week of Cities and Regions in Brussels dedicated to skills development and innovative solutions to overcome the consequences of the war in Ukraine.
The discussion brought together representatives of governments, the EU and non-governmental institutions with extensive experience in vocational education, innovative approaches and digitalisation.
The speakers discussed, in particular:
🔹 innovative approaches to professional development
🔹 current trends in skills development in the Baltic and Danube Regions
🔹 projects and results in the field of retraining and overcoming the consequences of the war in Ukraine
🔹 the importance of the role of macro-regional strategies
🔹 cooperation in the field of vocational education
Several important questions were raised by the audience: the role of vocational education in the context of brain drain, as well as how to convey to the population the importance of retraining and professional development in small countries.
