23/04/2026 | 15:32:30 Dear colleagues, the sitting is open. I remind members that in order to be registered for the sitting, you should insert your badge when you take your seat and keep it inserted for at least 30 seconds. You should also insert your badge in order to speak or vote. To request the floor, please press the "request" button, just once. I also remind the Assembly that members who have not submitted an annual declaration of interests are required to start any intervention with an oral declaration of... 23/04/2026 | 11:16:18 (I made the same mistake; no card. "Thanks" [spoken in German].) Colleagues, It is a big privilege to close this debate, but we're not closing the whole process yet. Dear Mr Frank SCHWABE, thank you for standing up for this leadership in the discussion. Colleagues, I would like to remind you that we are just about to witness a historical moment.

Recently in Ukraine, one of the houses of prayers works was completely destroyed, leaving dead and wounded. I think Mr Francesco VERDUCCI will reassess his leadership of this important paper... 28/01/2026 | 19:33:40 Thank you dear President, I would like to thank the rapporteur. I would like to start with citing the report: "In a global context, marked by ongoing wars and other major crises, it may seem that enhancing the socialising role of schools is not an immediate priority. Yet we must recognise that today's schools shape tomorrow's society". Indeed, colleagues, today's schools are shaping tomorrow's leaders. I would also like to take your attention outside of the Hemicycle. It is not a coincidence...
