ELIISAN was formed on January 28th, 2008 at the Committee of the Regions in Brussels and is an INGO enjoying participatory status with the Council of Europe.
Local communities, which are highly involved and capable as regards maintaining social cohesion in most of the European States, have a vital role to play in the deepening of social Europe which is respectful of national models. It is the ambition of the ELISAN network to speak up for elected representatives for local social action on the European stage.
