BOSS project : Building a Network to Boost Social Secure Europe

Aims & objectives

BOSS project:
(Building a Network to Boost Social Secure Europe” - BOSS)
Timeframe: Sept 2020 – July 2022: A 22 months Erasmus+ strategic partnership, exchange of good practices,

BACKGROUND

Civil society organizations from BOSS partner countries have established a quality framework for fighting against poverty and social exclusion, are the most familiar with the needs of their target groups and have an understanding of gender equality issues. However, the influence of these organizations regarding the promotion of social security across Europe is insufficient due to the lack of a strengthened cooperation network. The poverty reduction target through the social inclusion policies of the European Strategy 2020 and the national reform programs has not been achieved. The leading staff from the BOSS organizations have the need for the new knowledge and understanding in the field of social inclusion related to the new targets set in the European Union, which are reflected in the Annual Convention "Social Europe post 2020", European Pillar of Social Rights, Agenda 2030, Gender Equality Strategy 2020-2025, Nordic and national programs.

Partners have set the following OBJECTIVES:

1) to establish a cooperation network of European organizations for the promotion of social security and to strategically strengthen the capacity of this Network;
2) to promote the BOSS partners', stakeholders', the non-governmental sector's and the general public's understanding of the BOSS network's tasks by ensuring the availability of relevant information;
3) to increase the knowledge of BOSS partner organizations' employees and volunteer leaders about the social inclusion strategies;
4) to ensure the exchange of experience for the BOSS partner organizations' employees and volunteers on the possibilities of implementing social rights and gender equality.
