EU Policy Webinar: The EU Anti-Poverty Strategy

A Pillar of Social and Economic Resilience 
Date & Time: 11th June 2026 | 14.00–16.00 CET (Online)

With 21% of the EU population currently at risk of poverty or social exclusion, the launch of the new EU Anti-Poverty Strategy marks a critical turning point for European social policy.

Hosted by COFACE, this webinar will explore how this flagship initiative can move from policy to action. Discussions will focus on breaking down policy silos, leveraging EU tools like the European Child Guarantee and ESF+, and adopting a holistic, family-centered lens using the four COFACE pillars: Resources, Services, Time, and Governance (RSTG).

Key Objectives:

• Examine the strategy's integration into the European Semester.

• Drive innovation through multi-agency coordination to protect vulnerable families and children.

• Foster direct dialogue between EU institutions, policymakers, researchers, and civil society.

Speakers & Programme: The event will feature expert insights from the European Commission, European Parliament, and European civil society analyzing this new package of EU social measures.

Note: This webinar is designed with strict child safeguarding practices in mind; children are welcome to participate in this safe, inclusive space.

OECD WEBINAR: Levelling the playing field: Insights from the latest OECD Skills Outlook on 11 June - 5 PM CET

The Skills Outlook 2025 highlights that family background remains a strong driver of skills differences across OECD countries. Adults with tertiary-educated parents score higher in literacy, numeracy, and adaptive problem-solving than their peers from less advantaged backgrounds, a gap that is especially pronounced among those with the lowest skills levels. Skills differences are already large in primary school and although they narrow during the compulsory school years, they remain large in many countries. 

This webinar will examine how socio-economic differences in skills take shape early, narrow somewhat during compulsory schooling, but widen again in adulthood as socio-economically advantaged learners access higher-quality formal, non-formal, and informal learning opportunities. Drawing on international evidence and policy examples, the session will showcase what works to break the cycle of inherited disadvantage in skills development.
