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. It is intended that this event provide a broad discussion among civil society and the social sector\, on the specific role of local authorities to accomplish this goal\, taking into account the Local Governance agenda and Governance Models\, and particularly focused on participation of the citizens. \nSince its creation in 1991\, EAPN Portugal has defended the principle of subsidiarity\, which aims to ensure that decision-making is as close as possible to citizens. This principle is also enshrined in the foundations of the European Union and in the Treaties of Rome and Lisbon\, as well as in the Manifesto prepared by the Working Group which produced the document published by EAPN Portugal in 2015 entitled “Commitment to a National Strategy to Eradicate  Poverty.” \nThe conference will take place on the 3rd of May  2017\, between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm\, at the Parque Biológico de Gaia\, Avintes.  For more information: http://www.eapn.pt/eventos/1102/conferencia-nacional-o-poder-local-e-o-combate-a-pobreza

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: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
