Enhancing personalisation and co-creation in social services, accompanied by supportive workforce reforms as well as innovation and digital development is crucial for expanding the reach and accessibility of community-based support.

At the 32nd European Social Services Conference (ESSC 2024) we will discuss how we can co-create community-based social services, with a specific focus on three thematic strands: Co-Creating Cities Social Inclusion, Co-Creating Responses to Manage the Future Workforce, and Co-Creating Digital Solutions for Social Inclusion.

The conference will highlight various aspects related to social inclusion planning and its impact on vulnerable populations, different planning and management strategies, integrated service delivery, co-production between professionals, service users, and their families, as well as the importance of digital social inclusion in technological advancements within social services.

Call for contributions is now open

The 2024 European Social Services Conference will bring together leaders in social services to inspire ideas on co-creating the future of community-based social services. Contribute to the Conference and make your work and experience part of the discussions.

The European Social Services Conference 2023 strives towards being a fully equitable, inclusive, sustainable and accessible event. The planning of every aspect of the conference is made in line with the guidelines for an equitable event, as laid out by the City of Malmö which also adhere to Sweden’s discrimination law which, among other things, imposes certain requirements for accessibility and specifies protection based on a number of recognized characteristics and forms of discrimination. The core principle of these guidelines is that every person is equal in dignity and rights, and therefore every person should have equal opportunities to reach their human potential. Key considerations have been made to ensure the sustainability of ESSC 2023. These include choosing a venue that is a LEED-certified building, minimising waste, in particular food waste, and promoting the use of public transport where possible.
