The Global Social Policy Hub organized a workshop on Monday 30th of May in Tampere to discuss social policies from two main distinctive angles. First, we wanted to unpack transdisciplinary social issues and social policy mechanisms in low- and middle-income countries. Second, we wanted to understand global governance, inequalities and power structures at global level. Keynote speaker Valentina Barca’s presentation was about trends and lessons in social protection system design and delivery from low income settings.
We warmly thank every presentator and all the participants and we wish to share a common future of global social policy with you all.
