CONTEXT In the State of the Union address, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, proposed to declare 2023 the European Year of Skills. On 10th May, Decision (EU) 2023/936 of the Parliament and Council was adopted, declaring the period from 9th May 2023 to 8th May 2024 as the European Year of Skills. Having a workforce with the skills required by the market contributes to sustainable growth, leads to more innovation and enhances the business competitiveness. The European Year of Skills activities will promote skills policies and investments to ensure that nobody is left behind in the twin green and digital transition and economic recovery, and in particular to address labour shortages by closing skills gaps and correcting skills mismatches with the aim of achieving a more empowered workforce and society, capable of seizing the opportunities of the twin green and digital transition. Moreover, it should be noted that the European Year is closely linked to the European Pillar of Social Rights, adopted in 2017, which includes principles such as the principle on education, training and lifelong learning, as well as the principle on active support for employment. Both of these principles contribute to the objectives established in other key initiatives, such as the European Skills Agenda and in the Action Plan of the European Pillar of Social Rights. In this regard, active employment policies are considered to be the essential tools for achieving the goals of the European Year of Skills and the European Pillar of Social Rights. Therefore, these active employment policies are the backbone of the Conference, being the main pillar around which the whole event will revolve. Finally, the European Year of Skills is one of the main priorities of the Ministry of Labour and Social Economy during the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Since 9th May 2023, multiple initiatives have been launched, and the Spanish Public Employment Service (SEPE), with the support of the Ministry of Labour and Social Economy, is organising this high-level Conference, “Active Employment Policies, Pillar of the European Year of Skills”, as its most important event in the framework of the European Year of Skills. II. THE CONFERENCE The Conference, which will take place in Barcelona on the 19th and 20th of October 2023, will discuss and analyse current labour market changes and their impact on the skills requirements, and the measures to be taken by businesses, social partners and public employment services to improve the employability of workers and jobseekers in order to be prepared for the current and future labour market needs. It is important to strengthen the instruments for detecting employment needs and a to better understand what skills and training are required, helping to correct the mismatch between job supply and demand. In addition, the specific needs of vulnerable groups and of the ageing population must be taken into account, so that nobody is left behind. Furthermore, the need to adapt skills and training to the new requirements arising from the green and digital economy must not be forgotten, as well as the necessary adaptation to the specificities of the territory in which they are applied. - Concept Note -  THE ACTIVE LABOUR MARKET POLICIES, PILLAR OF THE EUROPEAN YEAR OF SKILLS Additionally, the Conference attaches particular importance to the exchange and presentation of good practices and testimonies on the above-mentioned topics. It is essential to put a face and eyes to our actions. The Conference will be attended by various speakers and participants, including, representatives of: The European Commission, CEDEFOP, Eurofound, ETF, OECD, ILO-Cinterfor, Ministers of EU Member States, European Network of Public Employment Services, Spanish National Employment System, senior managers of companies in sectors (transport, technology, construction, health), Spanish and European Social Partners from all over Europe, and, experts. The Barcelona Conference will last one and half days, on Thursday, 19th (9-17.30h) and Friday, 20th (9-14h) of October 2023. The Conference will be held at the World Trade Center Barcelona, and will take place in the plenary (Auditorium) and in two parallel thematic workshops, one in the Auditorium and the other in Room A4 (first floor). In both cases there will be interpretation, in English/Spanish and Spanish/English. III. THE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE EVENT In organising the event, special attention has been paid to the social perspective, which can be seen at various points, particularly in the choice of accommodation. Most attendees will be staying in two hotels owned by the Ilunion Group, part of the ONCE Social Group hotel chain, which is committed to a business model that demonstrates that economic and social profitability is possible. It is a socially and environmentally responsible business project, whose goal is excellence in its management, adding capacity, experience, talent and inclusion, and combining competitiveness, innovation, efficiency and diversity. On the other hand, the institutional dinner offered at the Hotel Alimara will be prepared and served by the students of the CETT-Barcelona School of Tourism, Hospitality and Gastronomy, attached to the University of Barcelona. This school was created in 1969, with the aim of offering its students not only an innovative training, but also linking with the business and institutional fabric. In addition, this social perspective has been considered in the Conference programme, with two thematic workshops entitled “Nobody is left behind”. The first one is aimed at priority groups and at the active labour market policies to favour their labour market insertion. The other one will analyse unemployment benefits as a tool for employment and skills upgrading. The Conference will also include a session on good practices related to these issues, as well as testimonials from people who have gone through an active labour market policy programme. Moreover, the environmental perspective has also been taken into account both in the organisation of the event and during the event itself. As a result, in addition to actions such as selective waste collection, other initiatives have been implemented, such as the use of recycled and environmentally friendly materials for posters, signage, documentation and welcome kits. - Concept Note - THE ACTIVE LABOUR MARKET POLICIES, PILLAR OF THE EUROPEAN YEAR OF SKILLS PRACTICAL INFORMATION NOTE 19th & 20th October 2023, Barcelona  THE ACTIVE LABOUR MARKET POLICIES, PILLAR OF THE EUROPEAN YEAR OF SKILLS HIGH-LEVEL CONFERENCE ACTIVE LABOUR MARKET POLICIES, PILLAR OF THE EUROPEAN YEAR OF SKILLS Key Event of the European Year of Skills 2023 Barcelona, 19th and 20th October 2023 From 1st July to 31st December 2023, Spain hold the rotating Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
