The Malta Council for Economic and Social Development (MCESD) in partnership with the Malta- EU Steering Action Committee (MEUSAC) is implementing an ESF project entitled ‘Closer to Europe’. As part of this project, it is organising a number of seminars and training sessions on themes related to Social and Civil dialogue.
The next Seminar and Training session is going to be held in Gozo on the 1st and 2nd of December at the Grand Hotel, Mgarr. It will focus on the role of social and civil dialogue so as to achieve a balance between economic and social concerns during policy making and implementation both at local and EU level.
The main speaker will be Dr. Godfrey Baldacchino, who is a visiting Professor of Sociology and Chair of the Board of the Centre for Labour Studies at the University of Malta. His research interests include industrial relations, entrepreneurship, the sociology of work and the socio- economic development of small island states and territories. Since 2003, he has been the Canada Research Chair (Island Studies) at the University of Prince Edward Island, Canada.
