Social exclusion is
a Europe-wide problem
But small scale initiatives
can make a difference
The European Union has funded a research programme to see what countries can learn from each others' experience.
This conference, organised by the University of Westminster and supported by ROOM, presents three English initiatives and one each from Sweden and France.
It should be of interest to professionals and residents working to promote social inclusion
