“…Already, as a first result of our efforts, we can mention the significant initiatives undertaken by two Greek universities (Democritus University of Thrace and University of Patras) towards the direction of empowering and training their academics on pedagogical issues. This effort is considered important taking into account that Greece is still in the middle of an economic crisis, which has been turned into a social crisis as well, revealing among other severe consequences the "brain drain", that is the turning of great numbers of Greek students abroad, either for job seeking or for postgraduate studies, (Labrianidis and Vogiatzis, 2013). Although this phenomenon cannot be attributed only to the poor quality of studies, improving the teaching methods and processes used in higher education institutions, could be a persuasive argument for young people to stay and struggle for better studies and/or employment in our country.…”

The aim of this paper is to highlight University Pedagogy as a field that focuses on academics' teaching role in Greek higher education. EU has recognized the need of improvement of the teaching skills of academics and urges the member states to recognize them as an important element of their professional profile. Only recently academics in Greece have launched the debate on innovative teaching and learning methods and practices. A Symposium that took place in 2016 and a significant empirical research are presented, because they are considered to mark the beginning of an emerging university culture, which incorporates the concern on teaching and learning excellence within higher education approaches in our country. The results of these initiatives indicate that critical self-reflection on teaching can lead to the transformation and to the adoption of alternative teaching practices, since the critically reflective process is a crucial point for the enhancement of an academic's pedagogical, curricular and instructional knowledge.

“…The decline is the effect of several parallel processes: (a) the move of the bourgeoisie and middle classes to the suburbs (more pronounced in the late 20 th century, Leontidou 2011a); (b) de-industrialization, or rather de-commercialization and the departure of small entrepreneurs who used to combine work and residence in the inner city; (c) the migration of the young, a brain drain (Lambrianides and Vogiatzis, 2013); (d) homelessness of the nouveau poor (Kaika, 2012), some of whom often used to be proper middle classes but have lost their jobs and their belongings and have been evicted from their homes, but also (e) the hidden population of migrants, who feared to face the interviewers during the 2011 census.…”

“…Diasporic initiatives involve digital exchange and interaction with the 'homeland' by South Europeans settled in cities around the globe. Those departing from Greece, in mounting numbers, inevitably leave a brain drain behind (Lambrianides and Vogiatzis, 2013). As if offering an antidote to this loss, the Diasporic communities become active in the virtual common space in solidarity to the 'homeland'.…”

Αυτό το άρθρο κριτικάρει τις τρέχουσες, νεοφιλελεύθερες εννοιολογήσεις για την «Έξυπνη Πόλη» και την Υπόθεση της Θερμοκοιτίδας, εισάγοντας τη λαϊκή δημιουργικότητα και την αλληλεγγύη στη λογική τους. Επιχειρηματολογούμε ότι η κρίση στη Νότια Ευρώπη ανοίγει δρόμους για μια λαϊκή εκδοχή της Έξυπνης πόλης, μιας πόλης με υβριδικούς δημόσιους και κοινούς χώρους, όπου το εικονικό και το υλικό συγχωνεύονται και η λαϊκή δημιουργικότητα συνδυάζει τεχνολογία και γνώση, καθώς βασίζεται κυρίως στη μαζική χρήση ψηφιακών τεχνολογιών και σε ένα υψηλά καταρτισμένο νεαρό πληθυσμό. Κατασκευάζονται τυπολογίες για πολλούς τύπους διαφοροποιημένων συλλογικοτήτων, οικονομιών και παραγωγικών πρωτοβουλιών. Κριτικάρονται εκ θεμελίων οι σημερινές εκ των άνω στρατηγικές Οριενταλισμού, στιγματισμού και καταστολής κάθε κινητοποίησης, εναλλακτικού πολιτικού λόγου, φαντασίας και δημιουργικότητας, ως υπεύθυνες για την ίδια την κρίση. Τίθενται ερωτήματα πολιτικής και διερευνάται σχεδιασμός με στόχο την ενδυνάμωση της λαϊκής δημιουργικότητας στο πλαίσιο της ψηφιακής κοινωνίας.

“…Starting with the economic and financial crisis that began in [2007][2008], the phenomenon has captured the attention of the media, of policy-makers and of the public because of the feared negative repercussions both for young people -"forced" to flee the Mediterranean area because of the high unemployment rates and the structural crisisand for the regions where the flows originate, "condemned" to increased marginalization as a result of the loss of human capital (AlbaMonteserín, S. et al 2013;Labrianidis, L. and Vogiatzis, N. 2013;Domingo, A. et al 2014;Triandafyllidou, A. and Gropas, R. 2014;Díaz-Hernández, R. et al 2015;Pumares, P. 2015; Domínguez-Mujica, J. and Pérez-García, T. forthcoming).…”

The international mobility of young people from Europe's Mediterranean countries has become an important topic in scientific debate. The issue has major reverberations in the national media since youth outflows -not adequately compensated for by return flows or new inflows -can undermine the economic and social sustainability of development processes in the countries of origin. The 2007-2008 financial and economic crisis, contributed significantly to intensifying those outflows and reducing the return flows. This paper focuses on the international mobility of young Italians during the past two decades. After addressing the problem of existing data sources and their comparability, our analysis, in terms of spatial distribution, will be concentrated on eight EU destination countries presenting three different sets of socio-economic characteristics: the UK, Germany and Sweden (characterised by high mobility, high income, and high capacity for attracting immigration); Latvia, Romania and Slovakia (characterised by high out mobility, medium-low income, and low capacity for attracting immigration) and Ireland and Spain (characterised by high mobility, mediumhigh income, and a temporally and spatially discontinuous capacity for attracting immigration). In terms of geographical distribution, our analysis will consider the most represented places of origin in Italy at the provincial level. Our study provides an overview of international outflows of young Italians, considering destination countries, places of origin, gender, marital status and age. These results could be used by scientists and policymakers in dealing with the challenge of maximizing the advantages of mobility for individuals while minimizing costs in terms of social and economic sustainability.
