The Lyon Metropolis is organizing a major “social” month in its territory in November, notably with the holding of the Social Affairs Forum. This forum is an opportunity to bring together elected officials, technicians in charge of social issues as well as representatives of European institutions to discuss the social issues facing cities and metropolises, and share the solutions they implement.

The challenges of the Social Affairs Forum will be :
Identify new forms of social vulnerability appeared in cities and metropolises following the successive crises which affected Europe
Address how metropolitan cities respond by developing new social policies integrating the most vulnerable people in their development and implementation
Call on European institutions to integrate these questions into their European policies and provide strong support to cities and metropolises.
