WEF – EU 2017- Reinventing Itself- Women Empowerment & Inclusion
Women Economic Forum – European Union 2017 will focus on the current challenges facing the integration of the European Union. We believe the way forward for EU is to reinvent itself into a more collaborative, more inclusive and more flexible Union where the interests of all, including the people of each nation are taken into account and their aspirations looked into : a truly plural europeean identity honoring and celebrating respective identities, cultures and aspirations.
WEF – EU 2017 will take place on 27-28 January 2017 in The Hague. Over 300 women and men from across the EU and Europe are expected to join along with delegates from North Africa, Middle East, and South Asia.
