Overcoming social exclusion and poverty
It is vital to explore every facet of poverty and social exclusion in order to improve the chances of our potential workforce. As the types of employment contract become more numerous, so our perceptions of security change. Our policy makers must acknowledge these perceptions and build policies to overcome poverty and social exclusion.

Solutions for raising youth employment, with a focus on improved education and mobility
We must be inventive and earnest in our commitment to the creation of jobs for European Union youth. Integration, good skills sets and mobility are vital to emcompass this population. We need to recognise the contribution that volunteer work can add to a CV, as well as the results achieved through more conventional routes. Our presenters will explore these avenues to inclusion.
