  • Seminar - Brussels, Belgium
    This high-level seminar is part of a European debate on the challenges of intergenerational solidarity in an ageing Europe. It is the follow-up to another large-scale event organised by the EESC last June in Wroclaw (Poland): the European Citizens' Forum. The latter was a notable success, which apart from providing a forum for discussion for the people concerned, also helped to bring the European venture closer to the public at large. Having conveyed the message of the European Citizens' Forum to European ministers at the informal meeting of ministers for employment and social affairs, organised by the French presidency in Chantilly on 10-11 June, this time we would like to meet in Brussels, at the heart of the EU decision-making process, to deliver the message of the people direct to European decision-makers in an area crucial for the future of Europe. The seminar intends to examine, in particular, questions relating to intergenerational solidarity and various aspects of family policy.
