SUMMARY:Let´s prevent debt traps! Policies to tackle over-indebtedness across Europe
DESCRIPTION:On 11th May 2017\, Caritas Czech Republic\, partner of EAPN\, organizes a conference called “Let´s prevent debt traps! Policies to tackle over-indebtedness across Europe”. The topic of over-indebtedness has been chosen as a priority to work on based on the national Caritas Cares Report 2015. The event will take place in Prague. \nIn the Czech Republic\, we have observed an increase of insolvency petitions submitted by individuals. One of the main causes of over-indebtedness is income poverty together with lack of financial literacy among the population. Another important cause is insufficient legal regulation of consumer loans making the customers unprotected. The problems are worsened also by excessive competencies of executors´ offices. In Caritas Cares Report 2015 for the Czech Republic\, over-indebtedness was identified as a major issue in the area of poverty and social exclusion. \nExperiences with issues of debt traps\, over-indebtedness\, executions on property and/or debt relief\, and examples of functional policies and good practices from many countries will be shared. \nContact: martina.veverkova@charita.cz and iva.kuchynkova@charita.cz

SUMMARY:The only way is up? Social mobility and equal opportunities - Joint OECD-Eurofound Conference
DESCRIPTION:Eurofound and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are co-organising a joint high-level conference on social mobility and equal opportunities in Paris\, France on Thursday\, 4 May 2017. \nThe event will provide a lively platform to discuss fresh evidence on intergenerational mobility and policies which support upward mobility\, especially among the disadvantaged population groups within the European Union and OECD countries. The event will be opened by Angel Gurría\, Secretary-General\, OECD and Juan Menéndez-Valdés\, Director\, Eurofound. EAPN France will be contributing. \nSince the global financial crisis many people in a range of countries are facing a sharp fall in living standards and economic inequalities are on the rise. Consequently\, policy attention is starting to shift towards addressing this lack of equal opportunities as well as the transmission of (dis)advantage across generations. \nThe one-day high-level conference will bring together an interdisciplinary group of international experts\, policymakers and stakeholders from both OECD and EU countries to examine the major trends in social mobility and how these vary across countries. The sessions will consider why lack of mobility and intergenerational inequality is of concern and what policies work in the field of education\, labour market\, urban development\, health and social protection to improve equal opportunities and social mobility. The concluding panel will aim to identify how a more integrated approach at different levels can underpin greater equality of opportunity and promote upward social mobility. \nA draft agenda is available. \nIf you are interested in registering to attend please contact Jade.Baker@oecd.org or Bernice.Turner@eurofound.europa.eu

SUMMARY:EAPN Portugal seminar on local authorities' role in combating poverty\, Avintes
DESCRIPTION:EAPN Portugal is organizing a seminar on the contribution and participation of the local authorities in combating poverty and social exclusion.

SUMMARY:Mouths to feed? Food security & autonomy: a global approach (in French!!)
DESCRIPTION:La FdSS présent un séminaire ouvert organisé par le Cremis de Montréal dans le cadre du 18ème Atelier international de recherche et d’actions sur les inégalités sociales et les discriminations. Cet événement centré sur des questions d’alimentation et de pauvreté réunira des chercheurs et des professionnels du social du Québec (Université de Montréal\, Centre intégré universitaire de santé et des services sociaux du Centre-sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal\, Cégep du Vieux-Montréal\, Cégep de Victoriaville)\, de Catalogne (Université de Barcelone)\, de Toscane (Université de Sienne)\, d’Alsace (Institut social supérieur de Mulhouse) et de Belgique (Fédération des Services Sociaux | Concertation Aide Alimentaire). \n« Les interventions en «sécurité alimentaire» se font souvent dans l’urgence avec peu de ressources. Conséquemment et malgré elles\, ces interventions peuvent contribuer à réduire les personnes à des « bouches à nourrir ». Le risque encouru est de reproduire le trait marquant des rapports sociaux inégalitaires producteurs de disparités de revenus et de conditions de vie : la réduction identitaire. Que ce soit vis-à-vis des personnes âgées\, des mères monoparentales\, des personnes bénéficiant de l’aide sociale\, des membres de minorités ethniques ou racisées ou des personnes sans domicile\, les traitements discriminatoires ont tendance à être fondés sur un regard réducteur qui ne voit que des traits négativement connotés. La personne peut disparaître derrière l’identité stigmatisée. Agir sur les rapports sociaux inégalitaires producteurs de la pauvreté requiert de passer à une approche globale où la personne est reconnue dans les multiples dimensions de sa vie. » Christopher McAll et al. (www.CREMIS.ca). \n\nInformation et inscriptions : christopher.mcall@umontreal.ca

SUMMARY:European Council Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The European Council defines the EU’s overall political direction and priorities. It is not one of the EU’s legislating institutions\, so does not negotiate or adopt EU laws. Instead it sets the EU’s policy agenda\, traditionally by adopting ‘conclusions’ during European Council meetings which identify issues of concern and actions to take. \nMore recently\, the European Council adopted a ‘strategic agenda’ of priority areas for longer-term EU action and focus. \nThe members of the European Council are the heads of state or government of the 28 EU member states\, the European Council President and the President of the European Commission. \nThe High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy also takes part in European Council meetings when foreign affairs issues are discussed. \nFor more information\, see the Council’s website.

SUMMARY:European Council Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The European Council defines the EU’s overall political direction and priorities. It is not one of the EU’s legislating institutions\, so does not negotiate or adopt EU laws. Instead it sets the EU’s policy agenda\, traditionally by adopting ‘conclusions’ during European Council meetings which identify issues of concern and actions to take. \nMore recently\, the European Council adopted a ‘strategic agenda’ of priority areas for longer-term EU action and focus. \nThe members of the European Council are the heads of state or government of the 28 EU member states\, the European Council President and the President of the European Commission. \nThe High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy also takes part in European Council meetings when foreign affairs issues are discussed. \nFor more information\, see the Council’s website.
