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:EU PeP Meeting 2023
DESCRIPTION:We are very happy to announce the 21st edition of the European Meeting of People Experiencing Poverty (PEP) “The Unbearable Cost of Living | EU Elections Edition”\, in CaixaForum Madrid\, Spain. \nThe meeting – organised by the European Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN Europe) and EAPN Spain\, with financial support from DG Employment\, the Spanish Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 and La Caixa Foundation – will take place on 14 and 15 November. \n  \nAhead of the EU Elections in 2024\, EAPN Europe and its network are sounding the alarm because very little has changed. Around 100 people living in poverty from about 30 European countries will gather in Madrid\, Spain\, to further discuss how the current crisis in the cost of living is affecting their lives and the solutions they see to address it.  \n#PEP2023 will explore challenges and solutions linked to the unbearably high cost of living due to the multiple crises we face. We are currently living in an unbearable cost of living crisis. The past months have been marked by rising inflation throughout Europe. This means that the prices of basic goods such as food\, electricity\, mobility and housing have risen exponentially.  \nThe European Meeting of People Experiencing Poverty is an opportunity to make their voices heard\, to connect with politicians and decision-makers\, inform policy-making processes at the European level about the impact of the cost of living crisis on people’s lives and to strengthen networks between entities and people throughout Europe.  \n  \nRegister now and join us in Madrid on 15 November to attend some insightful discussions!  \nOn 15 November\, we open registrations for the public to participate in the discussion and join the plenary session with politicians and decision-makers. Kindly note that attendance on 14 November is not possible\, as the meeting will be internal.   \n>> Register via this link.  \n  \nMore information and the programme via this link. \n** We will have interpretation in English\, Spanish and French.
