On the first day of debates about the Latin American agenda on social cohesion, notable participants include Bernardo Kliksberg, Julio Cotler, Clarisa Hardy, Mario Pezzini and Juan Alberto Fuentes Knight.
The objective of the Forum is to share experiences and analyse the coherence and coordination of the intervention of EUROsociAL in our countries, formulate the lessons learnt and rethink the orientation of the initiatives in the light of the key themes of the Latin American agenda, which include citizen security, education and decentralisation.
150 participants from institutions and organisations in Latin America and Europe will discuss social inclusion over the three days of the Forum.
FIIAPP, through the EUROsociAL programme, aims to establish a space for dialogue between Europe and Latin America with regard to public policies around social cohesion,and tackle the challenge of focussing and materialising the strategic importance of European cooperation with Latin American countries.
