Involving the target group: from decision-making to the provision of support

We are pleased to invite you to the Community of Practice on Material Support onsite event “Involving the target group: from decision-making to the provision of support” which will be held on 10-11 April 2024 in Athens, Greece.  

During this two-day event, we will discuss the importance of participation and explore various methods and existing practices involving the target group. Together, we will look for solutions to promote participation in the provision of material support. The event will include panel discussions, interactive workshops, and site visits to organisations that implement the ESF+. This will provide an opportunity for CoP members to share their experiences and seek innovative solutions to overcome barriers to participation.
