ThinkYoung : Compétition nommée EU Youth Design Jams

Helena Millet, au nom de ThinkYoung, a contacté l’APEEE pour partager son message, que vous trouverez ci-dessous, concernant le concours EU Youth Design Jam.

My name is Helena, and I am writing to you on behalf of ThinkYoung, a Brussels-based not for profit organisation that works to improve the lives of young people across Europe.

We wanted to announce that we have recently launched an exciting new competition for 15-18 year-olds in your country, called the EU Youth Design Jam. You will find the application handbook & flyer, and there is lots more information available on the website.

After reviewing the applications, the best teams will be invited to attend the Design Jam in Brussels, Belgium, from 26 – 28 April. 

We are organising the EU Youth Design Jam in collaboration with Meta, which regularly invites young people, parents, educators and other experts to “design jams” about internet use, online experiences, and digital skills (not sure what we mean? check out this video). Design jams are opportunities to come together and co-create through open conversations and collective thinking. 

Teams selected to participate will:

  • Win a trip to Brussels–with their adult (ideally a teacher!) coach—to meet and exchange with peers from schools from across the European Union;
  • Brainstorm together ways to improve how apps and social media platforms communicate their terms and conditions to young people and explain to them how their data is used;
  • Talk to tech companies and policymakers in the European Parliament and Commission about what they need and want from their time online;

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask; my colleagues and I would be happy to support you!

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Helena MILLET – Project Assistant

🚍‼️Reminder that One-off, Temporary Changes or Extra Bus Stops are Currently Not Allowed. 🚍‼️

Because of the overcrowding and the increasingly limited number of spare seats in buses, we may not always be able to accept requests for occasional changes of bus (e.g. to visit another pupil, the doctor, a private teacher, or a sports club).

  • Between 1st and 30 September 

We will not allow any one-off or temporary change of bus.

  • From 1st October

Any one-off or temporary change of bus must be requested by sending an email to the Transport Office before 13:00 the day before at the latest, and will only be accepted based on the availability of seats.

Request for Extra Bus Stop

Requests for regular use of a different bus departing at the same time (13:00 – 15:30 – 16:20) will only be considered as of November and will be subject to the availability of seats in our buses. This does not concern children living alternate weeks with each parent (shared custody).

Requests for an additional stop must be renewed annually. After eventual acceptance, the approval may be withdrawn at any time during the school year in order to release a seat for a student to be transported to and from home.

National Strike on 13th February 2025 📣

As announced in the national media, a strike will take place on 13th February 2025, which could cause disruption and create trafic.

The transport service will keep the concerned parents informed in real time about cancellations, absent supervisors, etc.

We understand that this may cause inconvenience and would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and patience during this exceptional circumstance. We will do our best to minimise disruption.

Best regards, 

APEEE Bxl II Transport

Grève nationale le 13 février 2025 📣🚌

Comme annoncé dans les médias nationaux, une grève aura lieu le 13 février 2025, ce qui pourrait entraîner des perturbations sur le réseau routier de la capitale.

Le service transport tiendra informé en temps réel les parents concernés au sujet d’annulation, absence de surveillants, etc.

Nous comprenons que cela peut causer des désagréments et nous tenons à vous remercier d’avance de votre compréhension et patience en cette circonstance exceptionnelle. Nous ferons de notre mieux pour minimiser les perturbations.

Bien à vous,
