Sending our condolences and solidarity.
We join @aeufederal.bsky.social and reject hate and division:
➡️Teachers see, every day, the importance of compassion, inclusion and respect. In moments like this, those values matter more than ever.
We condemn all acts of violence and urge everyone to support those who are hurting.

Fully agree with Jelmer’s take. A Europe that is silent about education amidst challenges that demand an educated citizenry on multiple fronts could very well lose its voice on the future. 👇
ETUCE Director @jelmerevers.com reacts to the #SOTEU speech of @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu :
“Not a single word on education – the foundation of Europe’s future? That says a lot.”
Europe cannot reinvent itself without investing in teachers and public education.
