Join us for an event showcasing the important work of the Community of Practice (CoP) on Social Inclusion over the past three years. The CoP has created helpful reports, recommendations, and guidance to support children living in poverty, homeless people, and those in institutional care. It has also shared good examples of how to use ESF+ funding to fight social exclusion. This event will present the most valuable results, encourage discussion, and promote the use of these resources. Don’t miss this chance to connect with others working to improve social inclusion!
