SUMMARY:Lessons from COVID-19: How can we make our health systems more resilient?
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThe COVID-19 public health crisis has highlighted that the EU and Member States need to do more regarding preparedness and response planning for epidemics and other serious cross-border health threats. \nThe pandemic has revealed the lack of medical countermeasure stockpiles at EU and Member State level and the vulnerability of EU supply chains for critical medical countermeasures. It has also highlighted the lack of a coordinated and systematic EU-level approach to support the development\, production\, procurement and purchase of necessary vaccines\, therapeutics\, diagnostics as well as personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical devices. \nIn her 2020 State of the Union address\, EC President von der Leyen called on Europe to draw lessons from the current crisis and build a European Health Union. In November 2020\, the Commission put forward a set of proposals to strengthen the EU’s health security framework and reinforce the crisis preparedness and response role of key EU agencies. \nThe pandemic has also accelerated the digital transformation of healthcare\, and boosted innovation in how patients can receive care. “A Europe fit for the digital age” is one of the six political priorities of the Commission 2019-2024\, and the EU is working on a digital transformation of health and care. \nWhat else can the EU and Member States do to make our health systems more resilient? Join this EURACTIV Virtual Conference to discuss the lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic and how our health systems can adapt and become more resilient. The likelihood of another global pandemic in the next 20 years is a reality. Whenever it may come\, there will be no excuse for a lack of forward planning. \nDATE AND TIME\nSeptember 30\, 2021\n2:30 PM – 3:45 PM (CET)

SUMMARY:Flagship Conference 2021 - Online
DESCRIPTION:The 2021 Flagship Conference will take place in collaboration with the Portuguese Government in the framework of the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the European Union – ahead of the EU Social Summit taking place on 7 May in Porto (Portugal). The Flagship Conference will serve as an opportunity to develop key recommendations to Heads of State and Government and EU decision-makers present at the Social Summit. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have a devastating impact on all areas of peoples’ lives\, which will take years to overcome. Moreover\, people in the most vulnerable situations have suffered disproportionately as a result of COVID-19 and the measures taken to contain the pandemic. The pandemic has truly exposed the fragility of our socio-economic governance systems and how they must be more resilient to protect the most vulnerable in our societies. It has exacerbated the inequalities and disparities that people across Europe are experiencing in many areas of life\, such as education\, training and employment; social protection; access to services including health care\, long-term care and social services. \nThe Conference will focus on the different ways that the European Union should lead its recovery process and reinforce the social dimension that must be at the heart of any solution to build a socially just and inclusive society for all\, which is resilient to future crises. \nAim:\nThe Flagship Conference is the annual forum of civil society organisations advocating for social justice and participatory democracy\, together with representatives of EU institutions\, EU Member States and other stakeholders. It aims at: \n\nidentifying the challenges of the current EU’s socio-economic governance models\, advocating for better coordination between economic and social policies\, and for structured and meaningful civil dialogue;\ndeveloping alternative models and solutions\, which are more democratic\, people-centred and leave no-one behind;\nbuilding synergies and developing strategies between governmental and non-governmental actors to achieve a European Union based on social justice and participatory democracy.\n\nTarget audiences:\nThe Flagship Conference aims to reach out to European and national decision-makers\, Social Platform members and their national networks\, social partners\, academics and other interested stakeholders. \nTheme/focus:\nThe European Pillar of Social Rights (Social Pillar) was launched by the European Commission in 2017. It delivers new and improves existing social rights across the EU\, and serves as the EU’s compass to achieve better working and living conditions for all. In 2021\, the European Commission will launch its Action Plan on the implementation of the Social Pillar. Social Platform and its membership have been advocating for the comprehensive and ambitious implementation of the Social Pillar. Our 2021 Flagship Conference will focus on the role of the Action Plan in supporting Europe’s social recovery. \nMore information about the conference here

SUMMARY:INSAR 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The INSAR Annual Meeting (formerly IMFAR) is an annual scientific meeting\, convened each spring\, to exchange and disseminate new scientific progress among autism scientists and their trainees from around the world. \nThe aims of the meeting are: \n\nPromote exchange and dissemination of the latest scientific findings and to stimulate research progress in understanding the nature\, causes\, and treatments for autism. Research on autism involves sophisticated behavioral and biological approaches. Autism affects people’s functioning in virtually every domain\, requiring interdisciplinary research collaboration to gain comprehensive knowledge of the disorder.\nFoster dialogue among autism scientists across disciplines and across methods.\nAdvance the training and development of new autism scientists by supporting the inclusion of postdoctoral and predoctoral trainees as well as junior faculty who are already working in autism research. The opportunity for trainees and junior faculty to interact with established autism scientists will foster the creativity and productivity of those at all levels.\nCultivate diversity among autism scientists by encouraging attendance and supporting access to the meeting for scientists and trainees from members of traditionally underrepresented groups\, including those from ethnic minority groups\, and those with disabilities.\n\nGiven the complex biological and behavioral nature of autism\, interdisciplinary training and ongoing mentoring of new scientists and promising graduate students is necessary to recruit talented young people in autism research. \nINSAR seeks to provide them with the motivation and mentoring needed to focus a career on autism and related developmental disorders. \nHaving an annual interdisciplinary meeting focused on scientific progress in understanding and treating autism provides an unparalleled opportunity for recognizing\, supporting\, and motivating talented graduate students and postdoctoral fellows into a career in autism research. \n2021 Meeting \nFull content that was planned for the hybrid event will be offered virtually. Keynote presenters have been confirmed and will be announced in upcoming weeks. The program will include Invited Panels again this year and abstract notifications for Panel\, Oral and Poster presentations will be sent out in March 2021. \nMore information and registration here (early bird registration ends April 15)

SUMMARY:UN WAAD - Inclusion in the Workplace: Challenges and Opportunities in a Post-Pandemic World - Online
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and heightened glaring inequalities around the world\, especially when it comes to income and wealth distribution\, access to health care\, protection under the law\, and political inclusion. Persons with autism have long faced many of these inequalities\, which have only been further exacerbated by the pandemic. It’s a problem made worse by long  recognized discriminatory hiring practices and workplace environments that present major obstacles for persons with autism; all of which contribute to the unemployment or severe underemployment of a large majority of adults on the autism spectrum. \nThe 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by world leaders at the United Nations in 2015 provide a blueprint for addressing the major challenges facing the world\, including strategies for reducing inequalities that hinder prosperity for people and the planet. One of the aims of Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8) – Decent Work and Economic Growth – is to promote full and productive employment and decent work for all\, including persons with disabilities. Article 27 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities also recognizes “the right of persons with disabilities to work\, on an equal basis with others\,” and to a “work environment that is open\, inclusive and accessible to persons with disabilities.”  \nSome employers have recently launched inclusive employment programmes\, which  accommodate people with diagnoses of autism and related conditions\, such as ADHD\, OCD\, etc.\, often referred to as neurodivergent persons. Based on the experience gained from these programmes\, and motivated by the desire to both be socially responsible and to gain a competitive advantage by benefitting from the skills and abilities of a more diverse talent pool\, an increasing number of employers are now creating  models to make the workplace and hiring practices more inclusive generally.  \nThe pandemic has undoubtedly impacted the efforts of companies to implement these new models\, at a time when the international economy is undergoing the worst economic recession since the great depression\, with the loss of hundreds of millions of jobs. At the same time\, new ways of working\, including remote working and the use of new technologies\, have created opportunities for employees on the autism spectrum that previously found it difficult to thrive in traditional workplace environments. \nThe 2021 World Autism Awareness Day observance will address these issues through a virtual event that will include moderated panel discussions with individuals on the autism spectrum who have themselves experienced the challenges and seen these new opportunities in the employment market. \nThe event is organized by the UN Department of Global Communications and UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs\, in collaboration with the Specialisterne Foundation.  \nAs presented at the 2015 UN observance of World Autism Awareness Day\, the mission of the Specialisterne Foundation is to leverage knowledge gained from the employment of autistic persons to support the creation of meaningful and fulfilling employment for one million persons\, in a world where there are equal opportunities for all in the labour market. \nEvent Programme Overview\n10:00 a.m. Welcome and Opening Remarks \n10:13 a.m. PANEL 1: Disparities and Discrimination Exposed by the Pandemic  \n10:33 a.m. PANEL 2: Ensuring Inclusion as we Build Back Better  \n10:53 a.m. Closing Remarks \n  \nClick here for more information about the event \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Why and how should we prioritize marginalized communities in the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in Europe? - Online
DESCRIPTION:Public health means protection of the population as a whole and health for all. It is not only a question of fairness\, but also failure to vaccinate certain social groups\, who are often more susceptible because of pre-existing health conditions or their living environment\, has repercussions for the rest of the community.  \n\n\n\n\nJoin EPHA’s online discussion to explore how national governments and the European Commission can ensure that EU guidelines and national COVID-19 vaccination plans turn equitable access to vaccination into a tangible reality for all in Europe. \nClick here to learn more \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:The Impact of COVID-19 on Residential Care Homes - Why Parliaments investigate and why the EP should\, too - Online
DESCRIPTION:The impact of COVID-19 on users of and workers in residential care homes has been hard and tragic. As of 26 January\, globally 41% of COVID-19 related fatalities occurred in care homes. In countries like in France\, Belgium\, Sweden or Spain\, one out of twenty care home residents died as a result of COVID-19. \nThis does not come as a surprise: the care sector was already facing major problems in relation to breaches of human rights\, understaffing and a lack of safety protocols before COVID-19. These were known and voiced by trade unions and NGOs long before the current crisis. \nThis event will show how Parliaments in Europe have used their investigative powers to shine a light on the political failures that caused such tragedy. These investigations are at the core of the institutions’ role\, to hold government accountable. We want to highlight that also the European Parliament should step up and use its powers in a similar manner. Only a thorough reckoning with past and present allows us to strengthen our resilience in the future. \nEPSU will be streaming the event live on the EPSU FACEBOOK page which you can see  here \nClick here for more information

SUMMARY:Advocating against the draft additional protocol to the Oviedo Convention - Online
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Advocating against the draft additional protocol to the Oviedo Convention: ending coercion in mental healthcare. Online launch of advocacy toolkit \nSince 2014\, the Council of Europe (regional organisation composed of 47 European countries) and its Committee of Bioethics are working on a piece of legislation to regulate involuntary treatment and placement in psychiatry – the so-called “draft additional protocol to the Oviedo Convention”. This initiative has been highly criticised by users and survivors of psychiatry\, organisations of persons with disabilities\, other civil society organisations\, bodies within the Council of Europe and experts from the United Nations\, including the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. \nDespite the opposition\, member states of the Council of Europe have continued to support the work on this draft protocol\, ignoring their obligations under international law. A final draft has been approved and will be put for a vote in June 2021 within the Committee of Bioethics\, for final adoption at the end of 2021 or early 2022. \nThe European Disability Forum and Mental Health Europe\, together with numerous stakeholders are strengthening efforts to oppose the draft and request the withdrawal of the protocol. At this occasion\, they are launching an advocacy toolkit against the draft additional protocol to the Oviedo Convention. \nSpeakers include representatives from the European Disability Forum\, Mental Health Europe\, the European Network of (Ex)-Users and Survivors of Psychiatry\, Human Rights Watch\, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities\, and more! \nObjectives: \n• Present the latest draft additional protocol and understand why it violates human rights\n• Understanding the process of adoption of the draft protocol\n• Present the advocacy toolkit and how to use it \nThe webinar will provide International Sign interpretation and real-time captioning (English). The webinar will be recorded and shared later for those who cannot join. \nRegister for the webinar here

SUMMARY:Policy and Advocacy session: Gender inequalities in care and pay in the EU
DESCRIPTION:Gender equality in care and pay in Europe has always been a slow-paced struggle. However\, faced with an unprecedented challenge such as the Covid-19 pandemic\, unequal structures have even more intensified where women are once again those carrying the greatest burden of families and society. On International Women’s Day\, COFACE Families Europe is therefore bringing into focus gender inequality in care and pay through a European expert seminar. \nDifferent reports have stated that during the pandemic of Covid-19 the gender care gap is on the increase\, with women taking up a disproportionate share of additional household and caring tasks\, despite the fact that many men have been teleworking as well. Women have also been hit harder economically than men. This policy and advocacy session on gender inequalities is not only needed to shine a light on Covid-19 related circumstances\, but is set in a crucial moment of social developments within the EU. The session comes after a year of the adoption of the European Commission’s Gender Equality Strategy (GES)\, a few months after the EPSCO Council adopted conclusions and guidelines aiming at closing the care gap\, and the European Parliament voted its own report on the GES. \nThe objectives of the session are to:\n\nConnect research\, policy and practice of organisations working on gender equality from different perspectives.\nConsider ways to strengthen advocacy and policy to close the gender care gap.\n\n  \nRead the full programme here \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Online Conference - "From Declarations to Action: Time for Social Rights!"
DESCRIPTION:As Covid-19 continues to rage across Europe and the world\, the pandemic serves as a bitter and stark reminder of the need to invest in our societies and economies to make them more just\, resilient and sustainable. \nWhile this need is not new\, it is in times of crisis that the European project must prove its validity as a project for the good of all through protecting people\, supporting businesses\, investing in equality\, social progress and economic well-being. Such progress must have people at its centre\, and the fulfilment of their needs for care\, work\, dignity\, security and thriving future.  \nToday\, the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) is called upon now more than ever to show in concrete terms its full value. The Action Plan for its implementation must live up to these strong demands by informing recovery and progress with the principles of social justice\, investment in the common good\, sustainable economy and democracy. \nThe European Alliance Stand Up for the EPSR invites you to the online conference\, involving Europe’s institutions and key stakeholders\, to explain what the European Pillar of Social Rights is\, why Europe and its people need it and how it must become a reality on which to rebuild our future. \nInterpretation will be available in English\, French\, German\, Italian\, Polish and Spanish. \nThe link to the zoom online event will be shared upon registration.  \nClick here to access the agenda \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Misogyny-Based Violent Extremism And Trends Around Incel/Volcel Communities
DESCRIPTION:Misogyny-based violence is a growing concern in the terrorism and violent extremism sector. In recent years there have been a number of attacks on civilians with misogyny-based motives and increasing links to “involuntarily and voluntarily celibate” (incel and volcel) communities online. There have also been increasing links between these communities with white supremacist and other nefarious subcultures. This panel will discuss current trends around the incel/volcel community\, their links to real world harm\, and potential areas for further cross- sector collaboration and risk mitigation. \nThe panel will gather experts on gender based violence to discuss incel/volcel trends and misogyny-based violent extremism\, as a means of giving visibility to a morphing and relevant threat that is not yet socialised with wider audiences. We will also discuss how a multi-stakeholder approach to these issues can help mitigate the risk of real-world violence. The event will be livestreamed and participants will be able to submit questions upon registration to the event. \nClick here to register \nAbout the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence: \nThe 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (25 November-10 December) is an annual international campaign calling for the elimination of violence against women and girls.

SUMMARY:Women On The Web:  Online Empowerment In The Covid-19 Era And Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the European Movement International and the European Women’s Lobby \nThe digital sphere can be an empowering space in our society and democracy\, as well as a driver of connectivity and democratic participation. At the same time\, the online world can become an echo chamber of our society\, deepening existing power imbalances and inequalities while preventing underrepresented voices from being heard. To this end\, women can find them themselves silenced\, their rights undermined. \nWhile the internet can be a tool of empowerment for women\, online gender inequality and cyber violence are on the rise. Girls and women face an increasing amount of abuse and discrimination on digital platforms or are subject to bias through artificial intelligence algorithms. In light of the current pandemic\, the internet has become a lifeline for many. Much of our daily lives\, work\, access to news and information\, communication\, and political debates now take place online\, making the creation of a safe and inclusive online space more urgent than ever. \nWhat do we know about the impact of digitalisation on democracy and participation of women? How does violence and discrimination online affect women in their political participation\, the personal and professional development? How can we enhance actions at the EU level against the rise of gender inequality and gender-based violence online? How can civil society\, social media platforms\, and EU policy-makers work together to protect the rights of women online and help make cyberspace more inclusive and diverse? \nClick here to register \nAbout the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence: \nThe 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (25 November-10 December) is an annual international campaign calling for the elimination of violence against women and girls.

SUMMARY:Gender Based Violence: How Can Europe Do More To Help Women Achieve Financial Independence And Economic Empowerment
DESCRIPTION:Financial independence and economic empowerment are pivotal to survivors’ recovery and ability to extract themselves from situations of abuse. A lack of economic independence can hinder women in reporting and leaving abusive relationships. The problem is compounded by the fact that women – in the EU\, as all over the world – are still a minority on the labour market and especially in higher-level positions. \nThis webinar\, presented by the Women Entrepreneurship Platform\, will look at this link and discuss the challenges that women face in Europe when endeavouring to start a business\, and provide ideas and solutions in terms of the policies needed at EU level to empower women to take the leap into entrepreneurship. \nClick here to register  \nAbout the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence: \nThe 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (25 November-10 December) is an annual international campaign calling for the elimination of violence against women and girls.

SUMMARY:Work to Inclusion: Jobs for people with intellectual disabilities in the labour market - Online
DESCRIPTION:As the goal of the project is to foster the inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities in the open labour market through diversity management\, in this event we will bring the perspective of companies sharing their experiences and knowledge of employing people with intellectual disabilities. \nAs the COVID-19 pandemic brought deep impacts in all areas of the life of people with intellectual disabilities\, the employment situation is no different. Even though it is too soon to have a precise picture of the effects\, there are some important impacts we can already see. In the event\, we will also talk about the impact the pandemic has had on the lives of people with intellectual disabilities in Europe when it comes to employment. \nSpeakers confirmed: Klaus Candussi – Managing Director at Atempo\, Melanie Wimmer – Staff member of Atempo\, Anouk Van Hoofstadt – Senior Researcher at Antwerp Management School\, Sarah Stemgée – Human Resources Director at Antwerp Management School\, Thibeau Bastien – Junior Researcher at Antwerp Management School. \nClick here to register
