Between 2001 and 2007, the EQUAL Programme has supported 43 partnership projects across the country. EQUAL has mobilised and involved over 450 different organisations (from the community and voluntary, public and private sectors) that have sought to develop and pilot innovative solutions to tackling labour market inequality and discrimination.
The Closing Conference is a platform to both reflect on the important lessons emerging from EQUAL in a formal conference setting as well as an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the 22 projects currently funded under the programme. All 22 projects will exhibit their work at the event.
