Local Employment Practices

The Swedish Association of Local Authorities, together with Helsingborg, Landskrona and Malmö and the Swedish Federation of County Councils, will organise a conference on Local Employment Practices and the Exhibition in Malmö, Sweden on 31 May - 1 June 2001. The main theme is "Diversity and mobility - basis for growth".

The conference is intended to be a coarrangement with the European Commission, CEMR and the Committee of Regions within EU. It will focus on the very important role played by local government in fighting unemployment. The conference could be used as a tool in implementing the European Employment Strategy.

During the conference lots of examples on local Practices on Local Employment will be presented in different ways and with different means. We need your help in order to make this Conference a real source of knowledge and a useful exchange of experiences!! Call for papers is sent to all our European Associations of Municipalities in order to "vacuum" all of Europe on good examples on Local Employment Practices which can be presented on the Conference as part of Seminars and/or exhibitions. The mode of presentations can vary and is very much up to the presenters. The presentation can be made as pamphlets, wallpapers, lectures, exhibition stands, videotapes, films and 'radio programmes' or in any other mode possible.
