Conference theme
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.
