SUMMARY:“Time to deliver on Social Europe!”
DESCRIPTION:NEW! \nSAVE THE DATE FOR SOCIAL PLATFORM WEBINAR “TIME TO DELIVER ON SOCIAL EUROPE!”  \n18 MARCH 2021\, 10:00 – 12:00 \nEurope is grappling with the socio-economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s health\, living and working conditions. While short-term measures are still crucial to tackle its devastating impact\, it is equally important to find sustainable and inclusive solutions to recover from this crisis in the medium term and long-term\, with the aim of building a more resilient\, socially just and inclusive Europe. Europe can only be more resilient if it becomes a society based on social justice\, where dignity\, wellbeing\, respect for every person and their human rights are at the centre of all decisions and actions. \nThe European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan is a crucial tool in this context\, as it can help to overcome the crisis and achieve the objective of building a socially just Europe. \nSocial Platform organises this event to exchange views with key Members of the European Parliament and civil society organisations active in the social field about the Action Plan as well as how the European Parliament and civil society organisations can collaborate to support the full and ambitious implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights. \n\nIFSW Europe\, as member of Social Platform\, endors the event and invite our member organisations to save the date and participate to this important event. \n\nDraft agenda \nModerator: Social Platform Management Committee representative (name tbc) \n10:00-10:05 Welcome \n\nPiotr Sadowski\, President of Social Platform\n\n10:05-11:15 Panel debate \n\nSocial Platform Management Committee representative (name tbc)\nDennis Radtke\, MEP\, EPP coordinator for the EMPL committee (tbc)\nSara Skyttedal\, MEP\, EPP coordinator for the EMPL committee (tbc)\nAgnes Jongerius\, MEP\, S&D coordinator for the EMPL committee (tbc)\nDragoş Pîslaru\, MEP\, Renew Europe coordinator for the EMPL committee\nSylvie Brunet\, MEP\, Renew Europe coordinator for the EMPL committee (tbc)\nKira Marie Peter Hansen\, MEP\, Greens/EFA coordinator for the EMPL committee (tbc)\nKatrin Langensiepen\, MEP\, Greens/EFA coordinator for the EMPL committee (tbc)\nNikolaj Villumsen\, MEP\, GUE/NGL coordinator for the EMPL committee (tbc)\n\n11:15-11:55 Discussion with participants \n11:55-12:00 Closing \n\nPiotr Sadowski\, President of Social Platform\n\nRegistration will open soon. \nFor any question\, please contact Katja Reuter\, Social Platform Senior Policy and Advocacy Officer:

SUMMARY:IFSW 2020 Online Conference: Co-Building Social Transformation
DESCRIPTION:This conference will finalise a global consultation process that will set the strategic priorities for the social work profession from 2020 to 2030. \nSocial work is the fastest growing profession in the world as more governments and employers recognise the powerful impact that social workers have in communities. Lower crime rates\, better health outcomes\, more people accessing work and education are outcomes of social work professionals supporting people to take charge of their own futures and realise their aspirations. \nAs a human rights-based profession\, social work has an essential role in all societies facilitating communities and populations to raise their voices and stand for their equality alongside all others. \nThe strength of the social work profession lies in capacity to build participatory democracy\, engage communities in their sustainable futures\, and defend human rights. \nThrough this conference the profession and its partners will launch the social work contributions to make social justice a reality. \nTo increase cooperation and outcomes at the international level the Global Agenda for Social Work and Social Development was launched in 2010 with strategic themes that last until 2020. \nThese themes have resulted in actions in every country with wide-spread advocacy and gains for people’s social rights and environmental justice. Now\, the themes must be set for the next ten years 2020 to 2030. \n‘The Global Social Work Agenda: Co-Building Social Transformation’ will be a participatory conference comprising social workers\, educators\, people who use social services\, representatives of marginalised communities\, politicians and world leaders who want to contribute to identifying the priorities of the social work profession and the best possible social solutions. \nThe five-day conference will run as a participatory conversation that will conclude with a set of interrelated themes and strategies for moving the Agenda forward. \nThe conference programme will use dialogue spaces punctuated with motivational addresses\, the latest research\, and perspectives from frontline practitioners\, educators and community leaders sharing their real solutions to increasingly complex challenges. \nAll participants will be able to contribute to conference decisions and play their part in setting the ‘The Global Social Work Agenda: Co-Building Social Transformation’. \nJoin the conversation and shape the future of the social work profession and its impact in creating national and global social solutions.
