With this webinar we wish to collect feedback from COFACE members and partners on their interactions with the changing social media landscape, and the impact on communication about social rights.
In September each year, the President of the European Commission delivers the State of the Union address to the European Parliament. This is an opportunity to share her vision for the EU, take stock of achievements and to announce major upcoming initiatives. This year, she highlighted a number of initiatives and trends which are highly relevant for the COFACE Families Europe network.
The European Commission has now published its proposals for the next long-term EU budget (2028-2034). From our side, we have taken a first look at what this means for families.
Since 2022, COFACE has been working in a consortium of 7 partners across 6 European countries on the rEUsilience project funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme and Innovate UK.
In May 2025, the European Commission launched a public consultation to shape its upcoming Gender Equality Strategy for 2026–2030. COFACE has responded to the consultation.
COFACE Families Europe has endorsed a joint statement calling on the EU institutions to secure a strong European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) by building on eight key success factors.
The European Commission presented its proposal for an ambitious and dynamic Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), amounting to almost EUR 2 trillion (or 1.26% of the EU's gross national income on average between 2028 and 2034). It includes funds to help deliver on the European Pillar of Social Rights by investing in people through quality jobs, social inclusion, education, skills, health, housing and social infrastructure.
We are pleased to share a new comparative report from our member organisation UNAPEI, which examines how inclusive education for children with disabilities is progressing across Europe.
PATHS2INCLUDE and the Civil Society Organisations’ Group of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) are co-hosting a Policy round table to discuss the role of EU policies in shaping inclusive labour markets on 4 September 2025.
