This seminar series  is organised by the Partos working group on social inclusion in economic development and is part of the PARTOS learning platform. Aim of the seminar series is to start an open debate about inclusive economic development, to find out how marginalized groups can be included in mainstream economic development programmes and to search for practical tools and methods to make it a reality. The seminar series will result in a closing conference and a publication with lessons learned and practical tools. More info on the seminar series or on participation in the working group?
