The European Social Network will organise the 23rd European Social Services Conference in Lisbon on 6-8 July 2015.
The theme is “Connect! – Building Partnerships to Improve Lives”.
Building social service partnerships for people with care, health, educational, housing and employment needs can deliver more personalised assessment and improve outcomes, a focus on integrated community living and better use of public budgets. Participants representing national, regional and local authorities, public social service providers as well as private providers, experts and NGOs from over 30 countries will discuss how government and industry should develop solutions to build partnerships, integrate services and improve lives.
