SUMMARY:EAPN Talks: The Economics of Poverty
DESCRIPTION:  \nSpeaker: Professor Daniel Zamora Vargas \nDate: 12 November\, 3 p.m.\, online \nThis opening session examines how inequality is structurally embedded in our welfare states. Drawing on key thinkers\, we will explore the ideological shifts that have reframed social protection as a cost rather than a right. The discussion will place the upcoming EU Anti-Poverty Strategy in a vital historical and political context\, asking: \n\nWhat economic models have shaped today’s welfare systems?\nHow has neoliberalism undermined the universality of social rights?\nWhat alternative visions exist for rebuilding collective welfare?\n\nFill the registration form to attend! \nLink for the event: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86839398917?pwd=b129at59JB3FQyWva0FeSQ11bt04QH.1

SUMMARY:23rd PEP Annual Meeting Participation in Action
DESCRIPTION:On 11–12 December 2025\, EAPN will hold the 23rd PEP Annual Meeting in Brussels\, bringing together people experiencing poverty (PEP) from across Europe. This edition consolidates and closes a year-long series of meetings and consultations focused on the upcoming EU Anti-Poverty Strategy. \nThe PEP Meeting is a key moment for driving political development and policy change\, connecting people experiencing poverty from EAPN national members to discuss the challenges and advances in the fight against poverty. In this edition\, participants will also have the chance to engage with political stakeholders\, European institutions\, civil society organisations\, and foundations. \nEAPN continues to strengthen meaningful participation of people experiencing poverty at all levels of governance — local\, national\, and EU. This year’s agenda reflects this focus\, offering capacity-building workshops designed to equip participants with the skills\, confidence\, and tools to engage meaningfully\, influence decision-making\, and participate safely and effectively throughout the advocacy cycle. Workshops will cover communication\, advocacy\, inclusion\, participation\, fundraising\, and more. \nThis year’s meeting follows two major milestones: the High-Level European Commission Consultation on Poverty held on 18 September 2025 in Porto\, and the First EU Anti-Poverty Day held on 5 November at the European Parliament. The PEP Meeting aims to consolidate the outcomes of both events\, providing a dedicated space for exchange and for amplifying the voices\, experiences\, expertise and proposals of people experiencing poverty — voices that drive change within political spaces. \nAt the heart of EAPN’s mission is the belief that the fight against poverty is also a fight to empower people living in poverty and social exclusion. Meaningful participation is not just a principle\, it is a key driver for eradicating poverty. \nStay tuned to learn more about the PEP Meeting.

SUMMARY:EAPN Talks: Digitalisation of the Welfare State – A Surveillance Trap?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bastien Le Querrec\,  La Quadrature du Net\n\nDate: 24 February\, 2 p.m.\, online \nThis session will explore how digitalisation is reshaping welfare systems across Europe\, from automated decision-making and data-sharing practices to the growing risks of surveillance and exclusion. \nTogether with Bastien Le Querrec from La Quadrature du Net\, we will examine whether digital tools are strengthening access to social protection or creating new barriers for people experiencing poverty. The discussion will focus on fundamental rights\, accountability\, and the safeguards needed to ensure that technology serves social justice rather than undermining it. \nFill the registration form to attend! \nLink for the event

SUMMARY:2025 European Poverty Watch Launch
DESCRIPTION:On 14 April\, the European Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN) will launch its latest EU Poverty Watch report\, “Promoting and Strengthening National and Local Anti-Poverty Strategies” (NAPS & LAPS)\, at an event co-organised with the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) Civil Society Organisations’ Group in Brussels. \nThe report provides a comprehensive analysis of current National Anti-Poverty Strategies (NAPS)\, highlighting common challenges as well as good practices across Europe. \nBuilt on a bottom-up approach\, the report draws on findings from nineteen EAPN national networks. These findings clearly demonstrate the crucial role of coordinated action across all levels of governance\, local\, national\, and EU\, in achieving the eradication of poverty in Europe\, a goal EAPN has been pushing forward. This objective has also gained renewed political momentum following commitments by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in September 2025. \nKey highlights: \n▪️ Insights from 19 EAPN’s national networks bottom-up research \n▪️ Exploring how to promote and strengthen National and Local Anti-Poverty Strategies \n▪️ Roundtable and Q&A with people experiencing poverty and EU representatives \nCheck the agenda \nRegistration link: 2025 Poverty Watch Launch – Event Registration
