Seminar: Elected officials, officers and social workers. How can they work together?

24/01/12

As part of the seminar series: "Social cohesion by its actors", Sabine Fourcade, Ministry of Social Affairs, and Vincent Chriqui, Director of Centre d’analyse stratégique had the pleasure of inviting you to the seminar (meeting 4):

Elected officials, officers and social workers  
How can they work together? 
Examples of housing and early childhood

Tuesday, January 24th 2012 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Centre d’analyse stratégique 
18, rue de Martignac - 75007 Paris

The activities of local authorities in terms of social cohesion are based on the mobilization of many actors: elected officials, officers, social workers and users. Their collaboration guarantees the efficiency of social policies at the local level. This seminar will be specifically devoted to the resources these multiple actors mobilize on a daily basis. How should public concerted action in the context of the current distribution of skills be managed?

Based on local examples concerning housing and early childhood, this seminar will highlight different forms of collaboration. It will present the practical functions of local authorities in their relations with each other, in public policy areas in which their skills are shared, and in their internal functioning, which relies on the participation of actors with legitimacy and powers of action.
