2010 European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion
The European Commission has designated 2010 as the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion. This marks the tenth anniversary of the Lisbon Strategy (2000), which set out to ‘make a decisive impact on the eradication of poverty’. It re-affirms and strengthens the initial political commitment of the EU at the start of the Strategy.
EU Social Inclusion week is taking place between Saturday 16th October until Saturday 23rd October 2010 (both dates inclusive) and Sligo has lots of events to offer to mark this specially designated EU week.
See below a list of events for your information and we hope that one or two event listings will be of interest to you.
