1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:16,960
Welcome to the world of education and culture.

2
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,520
Living in Europe today means the opportunity to learn differently, to train elsewhere.

3
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,680
Living in Europe means gaining experience, discovering new horizons, multiplying encounters

4
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,280
and overcoming prejudice.

5
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:38,800
It also means setting up new projects and broadening professional prospects.

6
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,200
Moving with the times means being mobile and having the opportunity to stay in a country

7
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,280
other than your own.

8
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,480
Living with the times means opening yourself to others, transcending borders.

9
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:56,000
Did you know that over a million students, young people, teachers and trainers have already

10
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,440
benefited from European financial aid?

11
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,600
So, why don't you?

12
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:07,320
Today the European Community Programmes, Socrates for Education, Leonardo da Vinci for Professional

13
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:13,000
Training and the Youth Programme offer numerous opportunities to stay in another country.

14
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,780
Over 30 countries participate, the 15 member states and all the candidate countries for

15
00:01:17,780 --> 00:01:19,600
membership of the Union.

16
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,360
You can go to these countries to study, to undergo professional training or to participate

17
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,360
in community life.

18
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,200
All that is possible now.

19
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,680
Being young means exchanging and communicating our values, aspiring to a more just world,

20
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,440
a world with more solidarity and greater freedom.

21
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,120
Being young today means wanting freely to take charge of one's life.

22
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,840
It means having a conscience and playing an active role as a European citizen.

23
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,760
You can do all this in another country thanks to the Youth Programme which makes it possible

24
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:58,200
for you, up to the age of 25, to become involved in worthwhile projects.

25
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,520
The Europe of tomorrow depends on us.

26
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,440
It's our project.

27
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,840
Europe is a mosaic of languages and traditions.

28
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Our language is our history, the history of our countries.

29
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,200
All our languages are part of our future, of the future of Europe.

30
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,800
This diversity is our treasure.

31
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,600
Being able to speak several languages opens up many prospects.

32
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,680
Being able to speak several languages is not a privilege.

33
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,960
It isn't difficult either.

34
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,600
Let's develop our talents together.

35
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,760
Europe is a centre for artistic creation, a space for dialogue and encounter.

36
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,040
The Media Plus and Culture 2000 programmes help the audiovisual and cultural sectors

37
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,440
to mount European projects.

38
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,640
The Europe of knowledge is on the move.

39
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:56,080
Today, a new tool, the Internet, adds another dimension to education and culture.

40
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,480
For the Internet is also part of the world of knowledge and discovery.

41
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,720
At high speed!

42
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,520
In the future, we will wonder how we'll manage without it.

43
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,200
The Internet offers new opportunities for all Europeans to learn something new in a

44
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,160
new way.

45
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:21,200
That is the aim of e-learning, to bring education and training into the Internet age.

46
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,960
Sharing knowledge and communicating know-how over the Internet is also the spirit of the

47
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,920
net days.

48
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:35,600
Projects include dance, architecture, opera, circus, the plastic arts and many others.

49
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,680
All the programmes covering education, culture and the audiovisual sector are mobilised to

50
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,200
make sure everyone can be involved in the new digital era.

51
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,360
This Europe of knowledge is being built here and now.

52
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,880
The Europe of education and culture which we want.

53
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Welcome to all!
