Seminar in Brussels on gender equality and social inclusion

Logo European Year 2010

The seminar in Brussels on 10 March is organised by the Oslo Region Europan Office and its partners in the Social Inclusion Regional Group (SIRG). SIRG will organise a series of seminars related to the the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. This seminar will focus on the inclusion of women in the labour market and the regional perspective on gender equality. 

 


Date: 10th March 2010 
Venue: Room: JDE 51, Committee of the Regions
Registration to: trainee@osloregion.org 

Women’s empowerment in economic participation, work, and education is vital to ensure gender equality and eliminate poverty and social exclusion. The keyword is women as economic independent subjects.

The seminar will contribute to the debate on reliving women of poverty, their full participation as economic subjects and to the issue of burden sharing in the family sphere and the organisation of working life in order for society to achieve a good work-life balance. The partner regions will present best practise on a variety of different regional projects relating to the inclusion of women in the labour market. 

The participants will have the opportunity to network and receive further information about the regional projects in the speed-networking session after the end of the formal seminar.

Please go to the Oslo Region European Office for more information.
