Our action
We take part in the public debate on social inclusion, particularly with the European institutions, and with all the actors involved in the fight against social exclusion (public authorities, European social partners, networks of civil society actors, companies…).
We develop partnerships and European projects between our members in order to foster innovation, identification and dissemination of good practices based on the exchange of experiences.
