EUROPEAN MEETING CENTRE - NOWY STAW FOUNDATION
From 24th until 26th of September the European Meeting Centre – Nowy Staw Foundation organized an international seminar in Wrocław about the influence of the crisis on the employment.
In the times of crisis employees are at a higher risk of becoming unemployed. Therefore it is necessary to search for possible solutions and methods to prevent workers from future unemployment and to combat the existing unemployment. Although a slight recovery in the European economy can be observed, Europe is still in the times of crisis, that`s why we organized a seminar giving the floor to discuss the issue of employment in the times of crisis.
In the seminar following issues were discussed:
Financial crisis: consequences with regard to employment; re-integration of excluded people into the labour market: specific measurements in different countries; the human and economic effects of the financial and economic crisis in the Eastern European countries and how they are trying to deal with it; EU2020 and economic governance: social dimension and key-points; preserving employment regarding best practices for combating poverty and social exclusion – a special look to the situation of young people.
There was also a workshop about more and better jobs and a visit of projects in the region of Wroclaw to get to know the strategies to combat youth unemployment.
In the seminar participated representatives of trade unions and another workers organisations form different countries, among them: Poland, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Macedonia, Spain, Luxemburg, Belgium, Slovakia.
The seminar took place in cooperation with
the European Centre for Workers` Questions (EZA).
The seminar is co-financed by the European Commission.
