We have an outstanding list of speakers across the day including former President Michael D Higgins, former UN Special Rapporteur on Poverty & Human Rights Olivier DeSchutter, and current rapporteur on poverty in the European Parliament, Portugal’s Joao Oliveira. Lunch will be provided and plenty of time for discussion and debate. We will be looking at poverty in Ireland & Europe, what has worked, what is not working, how to put people experiencing poverty at the heart of the strategy in practice, not just on paper. After an introduction morning & afternoon the meeting will break into small workshops, with a report back to the plenary.

The event is particularly relevant to policy makers, community activities, civil society organisations, and especially those experiencing poverty & their organisations. If you would like to attend, please contact enquiries@eapn.ie  as soon as possible as places are limited and spread the word.
