Report from EAPN Capacity Building Workshop: Building for a more effective engagement in the OMC Social Protection and Social Inclusion 2008

A capacity-building workshop was held in Brussels on the 29th February 2008 involving over 30 participants from the 24 EAPN national networks involved with the EAPN Social Inclusion Working Group and members from key European NGOs.

The main aim of the capacity building seminar was to achieve a new momentum on EAPN’s
engagement with the NAP/OMC and to promote more effective engagement at national and EU level.

At the workshop a new Tool Kit was trialed and amended, providing essential information and hints for engaging in the NAP Inclusion. A model letter has further been distributed for member's use.
