On December 7, the Social Platform hosted an all-day conference in Brussels aiming at exchanging good practices and discussing policy proposals with EU decision-makers, Member States’ representatives and stakeholders.
Participants addressed different topics looking at how services can be more innovative and effective through the empowerment of users and partnerships with different actors; how people in vulnerable situations can be successfully included in the labour market through the social economy and social enterprises; how communities can benefit from migrants’ and refugees’ contributions; or how the financial sustainability of services can be ensured, including through a better use of the European Structural and Investment Funds and the European Fund for Strategic Investments.
