The European Committee of the Regions (CoR) has appointed Roberto Pella, Mayor of Valdengo, as rapporteur for the opinion on the future Erasmus+ programme, which will run from 2028 to 2034. As rapporteur, he will shape the CoR’s contribution to this key initiative for young Europeans.
In his first comments following the appointment, Roberto Pella said: “I am very pleased to have been chosen today by the SEDEC Commission of the European Committee of the Regions to be the rapporteur on the Erasmus+ project. This is an important initiative in support of young people, providing funding for sport, for volunteering, for cultural activities, but above all, funding to promote youth employment. We will place young people at the heart of the requests that municipalities, regions and provinces will present to the Parliament and the Council, in order to pursue an active and concrete policy in favour of the new generations.”
