This is to invite you or your organization to participate in an E-dialogue

Division  for  Social  Policy  and Development (DSPD) of the United Nations
Department  of  Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), in collaboration with
UNESCO and UN-HABITAT. The results of the online discussion will serve as
important guiding inputs to the Expert Group meeting to be organized by

Transformations (MOST) Programme and UN-HABITAT, at UNESCO Headquarters from
10 to 13 September 2007.

 

Objectives of this E-Dialogue

 

1.	Explore essential elements necessary to create an inclusive society;

2.	Compile current initiatives and existing approaches in measuring the
"health" of societies (i.e., social inclusion/exclusion, citizen's
participation, safety or security) and identify their strengths and
weaknesses; 
3.	Identify the methodologies and information gathering processes which
could be used for measuring social integration/inclusion/cohesion; and 
4.	Create a knowledge-base of good practices in this area. 

 

It also aims to create a network of researchers, practitioners, local
communities and NGOs to work together to build a safe, stable and just
society for all.

 

Duration:      23 May - 20 June (4 weeks)
