Barka UK at the Forum on “Poverty and social exclusion” in Brussels
Barka UK was invited for the Forum on “Poverty and social exclusion” organised by the Committee of the Regions on 8 June 2010 in Brussels. Among the participants there were representatives of local and regional authorities, organisations and EU institutions who arrived to exchange good practice and discuss how to combat poverty and social exclusion at local level. The debates focused on making local social services more accessible to all, preparing people for integration into the labour market and inclusive citizenship in urban and rural areas.
