2 Forum theme: Anchoring the SDGs to achieve Social Rights for All Background The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the European Pillar of Social Rights share the same aim of developing a fairer, just and sustainable society. The global goals as well as the principles of the Pillar place at heart social sustainability and social rights. Cities can play a key role as active agents to deliver social sustainability and social rights for all, including for the most vulnerable in our urban areas. As the EU Social Pillar is entering the implementation phase and the EU is currently preparing its reflection paper on the SDGs, it is a timely opportunity to reflect on the role of cities in linking these two agendas by delivering socially sustainable policies to achieve social rights for all. Objectives The aim of this EUROCITIES Social Affairs Forum (SAF) is to enable city authorities to discuss and exchange views on how to make their cities socially sustainable for the future. Participants will reflect on the role of cities as active agents to link the European Pillar of Social Rights, the SDGs and the Urban Agenda for the EU in a way that delivers tangible results for people in urban areas. This event will encourage city authorities to act on delivering social rights for all by incorporating social sustainable goals in their city policies. Key questions: What can each city do to deliver socially sustainable policies to achieve social rights for all? How can cities better work together and learn from each other? How can cities be the active agents in linking the EU Pillar of Social Rights, the SDGs and the Urban Agenda for the EU? What are the key recommendations from cities to candidate MEPs and Commissioners to take on board in their future mandate to advance social Europe? Sessions Through a mix of panel debates, workshops, site visits, speed-networking sessions and a political side event, city authorities will: - discuss synergies between the SDGs, the European Pillar of Social Rights and the Urban Agenda for the EU, and how to deliver them at local level - explore the opportunities and challenges cities may face in linking up these EU agendas - share examples of effective city strategies for social sustainability - commit to act at local level to deliver on the principles of the European Social Pillar - exchange strategies on how cities plan to get involved in ESF+ programming phase - discuss and agree upon the strategic direction of the Social Affairs Forum for elect the new chair and vice-chair of the Social Affairs Forum for Expected outcomes Adopt the SAF strategy for and election of Forum chair and vice-chair Endorse a set of recommendations from cities to candidate MEPs and Commissioners that will feed into a EUROCITIES Statement on strengthening social Europe in Announce the EUROCITIES position on the ESF+ proposal calling for financial support for cities to deliver on their commitment to implement the European Pillar of Social Rights Draft agenda version 22 August, EUROCITIES Social Affairs Forum, Stuttgart, October 2018, Page 2

Situated between an accommodation for refugees and the University of Stuttgart, it is a key location for civil society initiatives, artistic empowerment and intercultural learning. The meeting place was designed and built by architecture students from the University of Stuttgart. During this site visit, participants will learn about the new model of cooperation between the welfare organisation Protestant Society Stuttgart (Evangelische Gesellschaft Stuttgart e.

With a unique concept and architecture, this house is a living part of the neighbourhood. The institution offers four facilities for different target groups: - Care centre for care beneficiaries of all ages with special emphasis on providing tailored solutions to young people s needs and interests. - Family centre for parents and children from the multi-cultural neigbourhood - Gebrüder-Schmid Centre: activities to bring together citizens from various cultural backgrounds where they can also propose their own activity - Community living offered by WABE e.v.

The distinctive feature is the close cooperation between many different authorities and partners (JobCentre, Federal Agency for Employment, Chambers, social welfare organisations, NGOs, foundations, enterprises) in one site. A specific project Joblinge will be presented to show how youth under 25, especially young people who transition from education to work and those recently-arrived young refugees with low or medium qualifications, can get support to obtain an apprenticeship through a six-month programme for skills training and work placement. Site visit 3 Urban development within the Social City Programme counteracting gentrification and regenerating a socially deprived neighbourhood A walking tour with presentations and discussions in different institutions Hallschlag is a neighbourhood situated in the north of Stuttgart and is part of the largest city district. It has approximately 7,500 inhabitants, many of whom are unemployed or on social welfare benefits. Given the high rates of unemployment and poverty above the city s average, this neighbourhood was admitted to the Social City programme in 2007, funded by federal and state budget. This brought many positive changes to regenerating this quarter. Buildings have been renovated or rebuilt, public spaces and all playgrounds have been redesigned, a multi-generational centre has been founded, which now offers housing for elderly migrants and shared apartments for elderly people with special needs. All this was achieved through an extensive cooperation between the city, citizens, the public housing association and other social associations and NGOs in the district. Site visit 4 Site visit 5 Men s residential accommodation Organiser: Public Social Enterprise Living and Housing This residence is an example of accommodation in emergency situations. It offers an integrated approach to social inclusion of adult men in need of various kinds of support. Among others, the institution offers long-term jobs in the residence, accommodation and emergency overnight stay. Especially for young men, social workers develop together with each young resident his individual support programme. This includes life skills as well as medical and psychological services and is carried out over a period of six months. This enables residents to become autonomous and stand on their own feet. Furthermore, homeless or lonely poor elderly men have the possibility to retire in this safe and cared accommodation. Central Municipal Library Organiser: Social Welfare Office and the Central Municipal Library The central municipal library is a meeting place for education, art and culture. It offers various activities for quality, inclusive education and lifelong learning. Located in the new quarter Europaviertel, it is one of the most modern libraries of Europe. The library offers more than half a million media on a surface of 18,000 m². Everything is possible from lending graphics, watching more than 10,000 animated films, creating books in the workshop of the children s library, composing in the sound studio of the music library as well as digitalising old records.
