Social Platform is the largest network of civil society organisations in the European Union advocating for a social Europe. We are led by a membership of 46 European Federations and are united in our fight for social justice, equality, inclusion, sustainability and participatory democracy for all people in the EU.
Social Platform receives the majority of its funding from the EU’s Europe for Citizens Programme, which is managed by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) matched with revenues coming from membership fees and other source of income such as renting of meeting spaces. Europe for Citizens is a unique and highly symbolic programme, focused on the future of the EU, debating issues related to European rights and values, democratic engagement and civic participation – values that make up the very DNA of Social Platform. It acts as a listening exercise on civil society’s debates and in-depth reflections on the European project.
