The programme of the Consultative Workshop includes the following thematic sessions, with short presentations and consultation with the participants:
- Civil Society & Local Development with Social Cohesion –
Introduction and discussion on the appropriate preparation of human capital - Policies and instruments for leveraging partnerships between non-profit actors and universities –

The event offers a unique opportunity for representatives of civil society, academics and executives of organisations to exchange knowledge and collaborate to find practical solutions to today’s challenges. The design and implementation of such initiatives is vital to address issues such as climate change, the fair distribution of economic benefits and the reduction of social inequalities. Through the workshop, ways in which local communities can contribute to ways of addressing by activating collaborative schemes between civil society actors and higher education institutions will be highlighted.
