Specific objectives:
- To provide a space for participants to exchange experiences on their engagement with the national network and how they relate to European processes.
- To understand key concepts for EAPN’s work, such as: poverty, social exclusion, inequalities, participation, partnership, and how they are defined and understood.
- To strengthen members’ knowledge on the way the EU functions – “who does what” on specific EU policies, and the way EAPN is engaging with them.
