CIARIS

The Learning and Resources Centre on Social Inclusion (CIARIS) is an internet platform, built by the ILO STEP program. It supports organizations and individuals in the conception, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of projects aimed at fighting social exclusion at the local level. CIARIS contains a wide range of useful information and resources available in four languages: English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The knowledge available on CIARIS is the result of practical experience of social inclusion activities and projects around the world.

CIARIS allows users to interact and facilitates mutual assistance through three services :

• CIARISAssist which connects people with specialized experts
• CIARISLearning which offers a wide range of distance learning sessions
• CIARISFora which provides on-line discussion forums

CIARIS is a continuously evolving centre, which is enriched thanks to its network of users and focal partners mainly based in Western and Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America. It is supported by the Government of Portugal.
