The “Regional Conference on social inclusion and (re)integration through 2030 Agenda and SDGs”, took place on 17 and 18 April 2018 in Brdo, Slovenia focusing on the challenges in bringing 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) closer to community level, and looking at the way forward to achieve social inclusion in the countries of Western Balkans and wider in South East Europe. The conference was organised by the Network of Associations of Local Authorities of South-East Europe (NALAS), supported by the GIZ regional project “Social Rights for Vulnerable Groups (SoRi)”, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
