The platform is a set of activities conceived and implemented around
this idea of dialogue and coordinated by a Pilot Group, backed by the Social Cohesion Development Division.
Some of these activities are carried out in the framework of the platform itself; others are
carried out by partners of the platform in direct cooperation with it. There is a distinction
between:
activities carried out by Council of Europe bodies (Committees of the
Parliamentary Assembly and Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of
the Council of Europe);
activities carried out by
the European Inter-network of ethical and solidarity-based initiatives (IRIS)
Activities specific to the platform include:
the functioning of the Pilot Group;
consultative panels on specific themes;
studies made for these themes, the results of which will be systematised by an
observatory function;
meetings and seminars to publicise the new approaches;
conducting specific common actions.
