A capacity-building workshop was held in Brussels on the 29th February (see report). involving over 30 participants from the 24 EAPN national networks involved with the EAPN Social Inclusion Working Group and members from key European NGOs. Key inputs were also provided by Peter Lelie, policy coordinator from the European Commission, DG Employment and Eoin O’Seaghdha, Desk Officer for Ireland, Latvia and UK.
At the workshop a new Tool Kit was trialed and amended, providing essential information and hints for engaging in the NAP Inclusion. A model letter has further been distributed for member’s use.
EAPN’s Social Inclusion Working Group will be reviewing the National Action Plans for Inclusion and the National Strategic Reports, following this period of engagement and producing a report in the Autumn.
