Council of Europe training session on well-being
indicators for all in Ulyanovsk, Russian Federation
2-3/04/2012:
The Council of Europe team conducted a training
session on well-being indicators for all with the Russian Union of Social Workers in Ulyanovsk at the start
of April. The two days training
resulted in an enthusiastic engagement on launching the first steps leading
to setting up a Social Cohesion Action Plan in the area. The training
sessions provided participants with the tools and knowledge to analyse the needs and potential
of the population of 6 municipalities in terms of social cohesion and well-being
for all. The training itself was a real success thanks to the engagement of
the Minister of Labour and Social Development, who personally attended the
opening and the closing sessions. In the coming months the participants will
complete a plan of activities agreed upon as a result of the training
session. Its implementation will be first discussed in August and then once
more at the end of
October/beginning of November. The goal is to provide full support to this
region in order to transform the participants themselves into trainers and
disseminators in other regions of the Russian Federation.
