Participatory local welfare, citizenship and third sector organizations. What is at stake?

The Conference "Participatory local welfare, citizenship and third sector organizations. What is at stake?" (PART_WEL Conference) will be held in Pisa, Italy, 2013, January 31st - February 1st. The deadline to send the abstracts is September 15th, 2012.

Objectives

PART_WEL Conference wishes to be one of the most significant chances to discuss, in an international perspective and in the context of the current crisis, about participation in welfare issues (intended in a broad sense).

The goal of the PART_WEL Conference is to give room to various international experiences, comparative researches and local case studies to explore the so called “participation shift” in the processes of planning, implementation and evaluation of local welfare systems, policies and services. The Conference will bring together scholars, policy-makers, practitioners to exchange views, practices and research outcomes.

PART_WEL Conference will be structured along 3 Plenary Sessions and 2 Thematic Sessions. Each Thematic Session will be composed by 6 Streams, each of which will host a variable number of selected papers. The plenary sessions will host keynote lectures from leading Italian and international speakers. Mutual feedback will be provided between the plenary and the thematic sessions with the aim of making the conference a thorough, cohesive and dynamic context of discussion.

PART_WEL Conference is promoted by Volunteering and Participation Foundation and Department of Political and Social Science of theUniversity of Pisa.
