2 SEPT – REGGIO EMILIA, ITALY

Advancing child and family care

In collaboration with PES CoR and Partito Democratico
 

Extensive evidence shows that disparities in life opportunities emerge early in life, but early care and education can break the cycle of disadvantage! 

 

Progressives in Europe have made significant strides in child policy, but there is still much to do to ensure quality early education and care for all. That’s why FEPS co-organised a citizens’ dialogue at the Festa Nazionale dell’Unità – to resist right-wing efforts to dismantle welfare systems.
Advancing child and family care
The social dimension of enlargement

31 AUGUST – KORČULA, CROATIA

The social dimension of enlargement

In collaboration with Foundation Max van der Stoel
