EAPN France, hosted by Uniopss, is organising a Special European Seminar on fuel and food insecurity on Wednesday 1 June from 10am to 5pm as part of the French Presidency of the Council of the EU, which will end at the end of June 2022.
The goal of this special day is to exchange with and for people experiencing poverty in the different EU member states, as well as to compare the responses provided by their governments and the European Union. Our action takes roots in the European Pillar for Social Rights, as we believe it can be a useful tool to make progress a more social Europe.
This seminar will take place by videoconference. It will be divided into two half-days, dedicated respectively to food insecurity (from 10am to 12.45pm) and fuel poverty and energy renovation of housing (from 2pm to 4.30pm).
This seminar is organised in partnership with the Permanent Representation of the European Commission in France, the Délégation interministérielle à la prévention et à la lutte contre la pauvreté (DIPLP), the Petits Frères des Pauvres, Secours Catholique, ReVivre dans le monde, the Salvation Army, the Conseil National des Personnes Accompagnées, and the UNIOPSS.
It will be structured around testimonies of people experiencing poverty and NGO representatives from EAPN France and other national EAPNs (Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Ireland.) who will put forward proposals to improve public policies in these two areas at both French and European level, and bring them to the attention of the French central administrations, the European Commission and the MEPs present.
Live interpretation will be assured in English, Spanish, German, and Czech.
