Welcome to the CIARIS community - a network of people and friends committed to combating social exclusion. The community gathers people from more than 20 countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia and East and Western Europe. Some are working at policy level, others are local practitioners, from public and private sector, the academic world and the international community.

If this is your first visit, please go to our Welcome Desk where we will give you more information about the CIARIS network and help in the site. You can also read the FAQs in the Library for further help.

In this Community space you can:

- find out about people in the network, identify the people working in your areas of interest, read their blogs.

- create­ a workspace for a small or big project, discussion or training activity that you want to carry out.

 To do that you have to register as a member. So, please join us.

CIARIS also provides a resources database from experiences and practices to fight exclusion compiled from all over the world. So don't forget to consult the CIARIS Library ­where you will be most welcome to browse and to add new resources.­
