Networking
Common challenges and shared responses
Some of the most prominent EUROsociAL regional or multi-country actions are carried out in partnership with institutional networks, at the heart of which the policies dialogue and collective learning are promoted. Beyond the debate and thinking that define the forums, within networks working, programmes are boosted with two goals: On one hand, advancing in the creation of common answers by several countries for a certain challenge, as strategic reference frameworks for public policies at the regional level; joint statements or guidelines, shared standards or protocols, etc. Thus, the Programme joints the regional alignment initiatives that are mushrooming in the region. On the other hand, we try to support the individual responses that mean changes at the national level, ranging from the implementation of those agreements or peer reviews, to the creative adaptation in a country of elements or practices from other countries detected in the regional exchanges; namely, mutual support. Thus, networks show the power of learning and the peer encouragement.
