EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE FLORENCE BIENNIAL CONFERENCE: EDUCATION TO COMBACT SOCIAL EXCLUSION.
Date: 22-23 May 2010
Location: Florence (IT) - Istituto degli Innocenti - Piazza della Santissima Annunziata
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), in collaboration with Tuscany Region, organised a biennial Conference in Florence (IT) from 20 to 22 May 2010. The topic was Education To Combat Social Exclusion, in line with the European Year for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion – 2010 (http://www.eesc.europa.eu/index_en.asp).
Learning, knowledge and understanding are the keys to sustain social inclusion and therefore education as a whole plays a fundamental role to achieve it.
 
The Fondazione Nazionale Carlo Collodi has signed a co-operation protocol with EESC and took part in the Conference in Florence by exhibiting and introducing its main activities and projects through its own stand.

The project ‘P.IN.O.K.I.O.- Pupils for INnOvation as a Key to Intercultural and social inclusiOn’  has the same core values as the EESC Conference and was successfully presented to the audience which showed great interest in its approach to intercultural dialogue, multiculturalism and innovative didactic methodologies to improve social inclusion.
