Mission & Interests
Goals: The European Social Network (ESN) is the network for local public social services bringing together social services welfare departments at national, regional, and local levels with statutory duties for planning, managing, funding, delivering, and inspecting public social services.
ESN supports the development of effective social services and social/health care practices through the exchange of knowledge. ESN gathers its members with the aim to inform them about the latest European policy and trends, to learn from each other’s experience. Members participate in the knowledge exchange and building activities organised by ESN including seminars, working groups, training programmes, peer learning visits and activities outside the co-funded EC programme, such as the European Social Services Conference and the European Social Services Awards.
ESN is financed by the EaSI Programme operating grants and is currently involved in 11 EU Funded Projects.
