SOCIAL

Discover how interregional cooperation is helping to make a more social Europe.

Creating a more social Europe means implementing the European pillar of social rights by supporting effective and inclusive employment, education, skills, social inclusion and equal access to healthcare, culture and tourism.

Our programme helps local, regional and national governments across Europe to develop and deliver better regional development policies in this field.

We create opportunities for sharing solutions to regional development issues, for exchanging good practices and for policy learning via our two pillars: our interregional cooperation projects and our Policy Learning Platform.
