We would like to invite those interested in Europe to attend our coming event in Hull, “Future Challenges for Europe : The EU combating Modern Day Slavery”. The event will take place on March 6th, at the Hull City Hall, from 10-3pm.
Do you want to know what help is available now for both business, family and social development?
Would you like to directly impact decision makers in Brussels?
Then BOOK NOW for this exciting opportunity to attend ‘Making Europe Work for Women’. This is a ticket only event, and spaces are limited. Speakers include: Dr Richard Corbett, MEP for Yorkshire and Humber & Christian Krappitz, European Commission.
This will be an interactive day with opportunity for us to participate in every session. Our views will be collated into a report to be taken back to Europe to help inform and shape policy and practical support for women. This is part of a national exercise to understand better what women need and want from Europe in relation to business support, our lives, wellbeing, mobility and security. The aim is to seek our opinions on the ways we hear about European issues, their impression and relevance to us and if they meet our needs and to send our important messages back to help shape the future.
You will also have the opportunity to network with fellow business women as well as influence and discuss your needs with local and European key policy makers. There will also be a display and networking area for attendees to meet member organisations of Yorkshire Women Entrepreneurs and other support bodies.
