A few weeks ago, we invited you to complete a questionnaire about your priorities regarding your working conditions at the European Commission in Luxembourg over the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can still respond if you wish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We now want to take this a step further and discuss the results with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At U4U, we believe in the value of collective deliberation and debate, and of enriching our ideas through dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the local staff committee elections now underway and new priorities to be set in the coming months, now is the time to exchange ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s meet on Thursday, 20 November for what promises to be a rich and exciting discussion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Invitation: Israeli and Palestinian women in Brussels to raise the voice of peace (17-19 Nov. 2025)<\/strong>  <\/strong>
A ceasefire has been agreed upon, but the challenges do not stop there! For this fragile truce to turn into lasting peace, civil society \u2013 and particularly women \u2013 must be its driving force.  
From November 17 to 19, 2025<\/strong>, at the invitation of the Belgian Support Group<\/strong>, Brussels will host Palestinian representatives from Women of the Sun<\/strong><\/a> and Israeli representatives from Women Wage Peace<\/strong><\/a>. These two movements, which bring together more than 55,000 women, share a common message: “A just and lasting peace cannot be built without women at the negotiation table.”<\/strong>

We all need to believe, but in what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In creationism, in the Nazification of Ukraine, in the anti-vaccine theories of US Secretary of Health F. Kennedy Jr., in the remedies of Professor Raoult, in the Nazification of Ukraine, etc. Rumours, beliefs and scams, often fuelled by ignorance, complacency or self-interest, are intimately linked to the history of humanity. And they persist, now relayed and fantastically amplified by social media. Fake news is everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it possible to protect ourselves from it? How can we disentangle the grain of truth hidden at the heart of every deception?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conference in FR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday 27 June, 12:45<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hubert Krivine is an emeritus lecturer at the Universit\u00e9 Pierre et Marie Curie, where he taught statistical physics. He is also the author of several books on the construction of scientific thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Krivine has published works such as L’AI peut-elle penser, Comprendre sans pr\u00e9voir, pr\u00e9voir sans comprendre and ChatGPT, une intelligence sans pens\u00e9e, which examine the nature and limits of artificial intelligence. His intellectual commitment has been recognised by the award of the Prix d’Epist\u00e9mologie by the Acad\u00e9mie des Sciences and the Prix de l’Union Rationaliste, underlining the importance of his work in critical reflection on science and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this conference, we will explore the strengths and limitations of generative artificial intelligences. We will take a closer look at the way in which they operate, to better understand how their logic differs fundamentally from that of humans. This reflection will also be an opportunity to look to the future to better anticipate the upheavals that the integration of AI could cause in our societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the technical, economic and social challenges of this coming revolution is important not only for employees and their representatives, but also for society as a whole. We need to prepare ourselves in a more enlightened way to take advantage of this technology in a constructive and non-alienating way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/u4unity.webex.com\/meet\/jps<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an early age, we are surrounded by rules. In everyday life, as well as in our relationships with our children, there are many situations in which we need to consider our own boundaries and those of our children. ‘Should we set limits?’ Should I regulate everything? Isn’t this going too far?” Don’t children need a lot of freedom?” What are the possible consequences?” And if all this doesn’t work, what can I do?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you stay a parent when you’re no longer married? Separation \/ divorce often has emotional consequences for parents and children of the separated couple. This raises a number of questions: how to tell children\/young people that their parents are separating; what needs children \/ teenagers have when they separate; what reactions children \/ teenagers have; what attitudes\/reflexes need to be adopted to ensure that things go as smoothly as possible; and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In such a context, co-parenting mediation can be useful, if not beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
