Shared Social Responsibility Conference, Belgium

'SHARED SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: securing trust and sustainable social cohesion in a context of transition'
Brussels, European Commission

   The Council of Europe - in partnership with the European Commission - is organising this conference on 28 February and 1 March 2011 in Brussels, Belgium. During this event, a "European charter on shared social responsibilities" will be presented and discussed before drawing up its final version.

   The event is open to public authorities, researchers, NGOs, civil society, etc., and its aim is 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.

   The programme includes workshops and conferences dealing with topics as:

- 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.
