Register for the big SP e-Vent on 16 November!

In the past month, socialprotection.org hosted the ‘e-vent’, a forum for all those working in the #socialprotection or related field to, informally and anonymously, vent about the shortcomings and opportunities in their work during COVID-19.

Weaving from some of the main ‘vents’ from the forum, socialprotection.org together with SPACE and NORCAP prepared the ‘The big SP e-Vent: You spoke up, we listened – but what should we do next?’, taking place on 16 November.

The meeting will be collaborative, as the public will be able to directly interact with discussants, raising other important and critical aspects to be addressed during the event. This constructive dialogue will be a moment to reflect and discuss with different actors how the situations discussed in the forum can help or hinder improvements on social protection.
