This document provides an overview of social entrepreneurship in Serbia. It discusses how social entrepreneurship started in Serbia in response to economic and social challenges in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Key stakeholders currently working in this area include public institutions, international organizations, domestic non-profits, and businesses. These groups are working to establish a supportive legislative framework and partnerships to promote social inclusion through social enterprises and cooperatives. The document concludes with brief case studies of four social enterprises in Serbia.
This document discusses social entrepreneurship in Serbia. It provides an overview of where and why social entrepreneurship started in Serbia, tracing it back to the country's socialist past and period of economic and social system disintegration in the late 20th century. It discusses the key stakeholders currently involved, including public institutions, international organizations, domestic non-profits, and the business sector. It also outlines some of the initiatives and approaches these stakeholders are taking, such as developing the legislative framework, implementing pilot projects, and forming public-private partnerships. The document concludes by briefly describing a few case studies of social enterprises in Serbia.
Our mission is to encourage and facilitate the integration of young people with social and economic problems in Tirana and Durres into the labor market and develop collaboration between youth and private/public operators. The objectives are to establish partnerships between local government and labor market actors, develop an employment service model administered by local government, and establish communication between job seekers and employers. The target groups are youth ages 15-30 from disadvantaged families or with special social needs in areas with high poverty and social problems.
This document summarizes the key aspects of the UK government's localism agenda outlined in the Localism Act. It discusses the decentralization of powers from national to local governments to give communities more control. This includes new rights for local councils and communities over areas like planning, housing, education, and public services. The goal is to disperse power more widely and improve people's lives by empowering local decision making rather than imposing top-down control from national government. However, others argue it does not truly decentralize and could centralize power through new regulatory oversight. The effects on local accountability and roles of elected officials, private and nonprofit organizations are also debated.

This document outlines Barcelona's strategy to combat rumors and stereotypes about cultural diversity and immigration. The strategy includes creating an Antirumor Network of over 220 organizations, developing educational materials, training over 500 volunteer Antirumor Agents, and implementing activities to promote dialogue. It aims to identify common rumors, provide factual information to replace rumors, and involve local leaders and media to communicate accurately about issues related to migration. The strategy seeks to foster interaction between communities and prevent rumors from generating fear and resentment that hamper social cohesion.
This document discusses services available to irregular migrants in Genoa, Italy. It notes that while Italian law provides some healthcare and education for irregular migrant children, most irregular migrants number around 5,000-8,000 according to estimates. Services available to irregular migrants include limited public healthcare through special codes at certain clinics, as well as temporary shelter from NGOs for up to 5 weeks and exceptions occasionally made for public housing in some cases. Information is provided by the Non Resident Migrant Office and other public/NGO offices.
The document summarizes the system of services for non-self sufficient elderly people in the area of Florence, Italy. It describes the demographic context of aging population in the region. Non-self sufficient individuals are defined as those who have lost independence. The system aims to improve care services and promote independent living. Services are funded through regional and municipal sources and require co-payments based on income. Eligibility is determined through needs assessments. Services include home care, day centers, caregiver support, and residential facilities.
The document discusses the functions and tasks of the Provincial Administration of Florence, Italy. It oversees 44 municipalities and coordinates planning and development.

Training includes qualifications, specializations, and short courses to improve skills and job opportunities.
This document summarizes emerging findings from a study on how cities in the EU respond to the needs of irregular migrants. The key points are:
1) City responses are constrained by national laws but may differ from national priorities by responding to local needs and problems.
2) Beyond legal requirements, cities provide services like healthcare, education, shelter, and food assistance. They do so for reasons of legal duty, humanitarian concerns, and practical goals like public health and crime prevention.
3) Factors influencing city approaches include evidence of needs, pressure from service providers, capacity to provide, and examples from other cities. Approaches differ even within countries based on these competency and capacity factors.
Over the last decade, the gap between the old and the young in Europe has been growing due to worsening social and economic conditions. The presentation lays down a set of proposal both at the EU and at the national level to reverse the trend.

Presentation given by Bernard Lacharme, Haut Comité pour le logement des personnes at a FEANTSA conference on "People who are homeless can be housed:
An insight into successful practices from across Europe", Cardiff, Wales, 2008
This document discusses topics around social housing in Europe. It addresses issues like affordability, mobility, demographics, and financing social housing. It notes that over 1.3 million asylum seekers came to Europe in 2015. Inequality in housing is increasing, with housing costs disproportionately burdening low-income tenants. Affordable housing shortages, empty homes, high construction costs, and obstacles to credit are ongoing problems. Cities struggle with increasing housing prices that push people out. Innovative solutions are needed to provide permanent, decent and affordable housing connected to opportunities.

This document summarizes migrant integration policies in Japan from the perspective of local governments. It discusses how local governments have developed integration policies since the 1970s in response to growing migrant populations. More recently, concepts of "Tabunka Kyosei" (living together in a diverse society) and developing "intercultural cities" have influenced integration approaches. The document also examines national policies and initiatives to promote networking between municipalities pursuing intercultural policies.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for social policies in Ukraine in the context of decentralization reforms. Key challenges include ongoing conflicts that disrupt social welfare; Ukraine undergoing many reforms simultaneously; and decentralization providing both opportunities and risks if not implemented properly. The initiative of making municipalities "Child and Youth Friendly" is presented as a way to promote social inclusion and solidarity at the local level during decentralization. The initiative framework, funding mechanisms, current progress, and expected results are outlined. Expanding the initiative's network of experts and reach across municipalities could help scale up efforts to build social welfare locally.

Political economy of unpaid care and possible solutionsRanjani K.Murthy
This presentation defines unpaid care, and outlines the consequences of unpaid care on women and girls' welfare and rights. It also shares different feminist positions on origin of unpaid care work by women, and argues for locking at intersection of patriarchy, global capitalism, caste and other hierarchies which shape unpaid and low paid care by women. It argues that if the gender gap in economic and political sphere are to be bridged and if violence against women is to reduce inter-state organisations, state, markets, community and households have to reduce the care burden of women, with the burden shifting to state, markets and men in the household and men leaders of community

This document compares active aging indicators between Moldova and the European Union. It finds that Moldova scores lower than the EU on most indicators, including employment rates for those aged 55-74, social participation such as voluntary activities and care for others, independent and healthy living factors like income and access to healthcare, and the capacity and enabling environment for active aging including education levels and use of technology. The active aging index is 36.0 for Moldova and 49.0 for the EU, showing better conditions and utilization of potential among older populations in the EU.

etxeTIC, una aportación ante los desafíos y nuevas necesidades en centros de ...Sergio Murillo Corzo
Presentación utilizada en la mesa redonda del curso de verano de la UPV/EHU titulado "Centros Sociales de Personas Mayores, ¿es necesario un cambio?", para presentar los fundamentos de etxeTIC.
Desde la Diputación Foral de Bizkaia venimos sosteniendo una apuesta por el asociacionismo de las personas mayores, como germen -en su caso- de centros de este tipo, que deben basar su esencia en las actividades para promover relaciones más que en el sostenimiento de servicios en un centro. Esta fórmula, que vive las dificultades propias de un cambio de tiempo, debe ser completada con centros de base comunitaria que alcancen a otros perfiles de personas mayores que, por su situación, pueden ver acelerado su (auto)aislamento.
Esta nueva fórmula quiere materializarse en etxeTIC, con dos cuestiones que permanecen: (1) la centralidad de las relaciones y (2) la base comunitaria, y dos elementos nuevos que quiere abordar (3) incorporando las tecnologías y (4) respondiendo a un perfil de personas mayores hasta ahora no abordado en centros de base comunitaria: personas en situación de dependencia y sus personas cuidadoras.

Este documento discute la necesidad de cuantificar el valor social para mejorar la rendición de cuentas en el sector público. Argumenta que se necesitan métricas que reflejen lo que realmente es de interés público, que midan un tipo diferente de valor al financiero, y que midan resultados en lugar de solo procesos. El objetivo final es encontrar formas de medir el valor social de una manera fácil de comunicar y que ayude a mejorar el buen gobierno.

Biscay Provincial Government sergio.murillo@bizkaia.net
2. Overview of the population of Biscay
Global population: 1.152.406 (2011, EUSTAT).
– 76% concentrated in Bilbao city area.
– 112 municipalities.
Ageing population:
– 19,8% aged over 65 (2010).
– 38,8% expected to be over 65 (2050).
Wealthy country:

– Important amount of industrial activity.
3. The challenge
As far as we looked to our citizens, we
met…
– An ageing society.
– A population with great life expectancy.
– A wish to keep good living conditions longer.
The answer should be different…
…but person centric.
4. The answer
United Nations Think globally…
ACTIVE AGEING definition from
European Commission WHO: process of optimizing
opportunities for health, participation
Central Government and security in order to enhance
quality of life as people age.
Basque Government
…act locally.
Provincial Government
Subsidiarity principle to tackle the
challenge (Treaty of Maastricht).

5. Up to now…
This trip took us to a Biscay where:
– Transversal approach of active ageing is being
included by policy makers.
– Seniors Board influences policy makers.
– Mass Media agreed a style manual for
language use when dealing with age.
– Every village has got an elderly people
association:
• With an annual activity calendar.
• An active board of members.
6. What can be learned
Key factors:
– Changing the paradigm: from “doing for” to
“doing with”.
– Political representatives‟ and public sector
professionals‟ commitment.
– Empowerment of elder people‟s local
associations.
7. What can be learned (II)
Changing the paradigm: from “doing for” to
“doing with”:
– Setting up a „Seniors Board‟, a deliberative
body with representatives both form seniors
associations and institutions (2005).
– Building a common strategy, some shared
documents:
• Bizkaia Manifesto for Active Ageing (2007).
• Action plan for Active Ageing (2010).
8. What can be learned (III)
Political representatives‟ and public sector
professionals‟ commitment:
– To start a long term strategy (no quick wins).
– To allocate some money from the budget.
– To share the leadership.
– Not to have the answer in advance.
– To push other Departments to include the
approach in their policies.
9. What can be learned (IV)
Empowerment of elder people‟s local
associations:
– Annual funding for the local associations.
– As a formula for active ageing, itself.
– As civic society‟s involvement (botton-up
approach).
– As a guarantee of the deployment of the
strategy to every corner of the county (top-down
approach).
10. The challenge: EIP-AHA
Inclusion:
– Increasing participation in local Agenda21.
– Setting up clusters of stakeholders in the
municipalities.
Others:
– Dissemination of contribution to society.
– Predicting new barriers, such as ICT gap.
New generational “relay” with new expectations
