FROM EXCLUSION TO INCLUSIONA CHALLENGING SOCIAL ENTERPRISE!

3rd CARe Europe Conference17 - 18 June, 2015Conference Centre National Technical Library Prague, Czech Republic

CARe Europe is an international network promoting recovery and social inclusion.

THEMES1. Recovery and social inclusion2. Social Entrepreneurship3. Challenges for institutional change

One of the important aspects of recovery is to be(come) part of the world (again), to have meaningful activities and social roles. It requires not only efforts from the part of the person but also from the part of the community, in terms of supports and opportunities.



Peer support, family support and professional services which are focused on recovery & inclusion are essential ingredients. New possibilities emerge when the focus shifts from services to the community, from care to entrepreneurship, from social benefits to paid labour.
