| Social professionals in Europe are under pressure. Are social professionals there as a last resort to provide a safety net for people who cannot share equally in wealth? Or should social professionals work towards to a more equal and sustainable society? Do social professionals contribute to the process of building a Europe in which all citizens are able to participate and have their rights respected? These questions call for social action in Europe. The second ENSACT conference, which will be held in Brussels, provides an opportunity for social professionals, lecturers, researchers, students, policymakers, service providers, volunteers and service users to meet, share and exchange knowledge, to debate current sustainable social development and to discuss ways forward in the field of social practice, education, policy and service provision. Social professionals represent a mosaic of different workers: social workers, social educators, community workers, youth workers, childcare workers, development workers, outreach workers, etc. In 2011, those involved in, or who care about the social field in Europe, are urged to come together, to consolidate their experience and to share new knowledge and skills.
