What is the #ESFplus? Since 1957, it’s helped reduce inequalities, boost jobs and support local needs across Europe.

As the #EUBudget takes shape, we say: #KeepWhatWorks!

Europe needs to invest in jobs, skills and inclusion!

With 94.6M people in Europe at risk of poverty, the EU must strengthen, not weaken, the European Social Fund.

Europe’s future depends on it!

In Lisbon, I visited the Centro Educativo Navarro de Paiva.

Here, through “Mala Mágica”, an #ESFPlus project, young people under state supervision are gaining skills, confidence and hope.

👉 A great example of how #ESFPlus promotes inclusion and gives everyone a chance to thrive.

A pleasure to meet President Salvador Illa in Catalonia.

We discussed jobs, education, housing and the fight against poverty—key to building a more inclusive and resilient society.

EU tools like #ESFPlus and the European Pillar of Social Rights are helping deliver on this ambition.
