||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Council of Europe -
in partnership with the European Commission - has organised this conference
on 28 February and 1 March 2011. The event was open to public authorities,
researchers, NGOs, civil society, etc., and its aim was to give a thoroughly
European focus to our reflection on the question of responsibilities in
forging the future of our designs for democracy, social justice, poverty
alleviation, sustainability and communal living. A “European Charter on
shared social responsibilities” is currently being drawn up and has been
discussed during the first working day.
The conference has dealt primarily with the following topics:
-
the transformations in Europe: social cohesion and shared responsibility,
key factors in creating vision and rebuilding confidence in the future;
-
the need for a concept of shared social responsibility: prospects and
obstacles;
-
mobilising citizens and stake-holders through and for shared
responsibilities;
-
the challenges to placing shared responsibility at the heart of the
political agenda; - organising ourselves to achieve the objective of well-being for all.
