Joint seminar on “The Role of the ESF in Capacity Building of Social Partners”

  • 04-05 December 2017

  • Rome, Italy

Background

The European social partners, ETUC, BusinessEurope, CEEP and UEAPME are jointly organising a seminar on “The Role of the ESF in Capacity Building of Social Partners”. The seminar will bring together social partner experts in the field of the ESF from the following countries:

 Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia

In addition, representatives from managing authorities will be invited to take part. This is the second of two seminars, and it is focusing on a different set of countries than the first one.

It is clear that in order to be able to develop their role as social partners and enhance social dialogue, some national social partner organisations need financial support. A better use of the European Social Fund is essential to support the existence of well-structured bipartite social dialogue at all appropriate levels in the EU Member States, especially at local and regional levels. It can also play an important role to achieve better implementation of social dialogue outcomes.

Discussions will be structured around the level of involvement of social partners in the delivery and management of ESF activities, as well as the identification of how the ESF facilitates capacity building to support social dialogue. The seminar will also enable social partners, along with managing authorities, to identify future capacity building activities in the context of the ESF.
