For several years, BAG WfbM has closely cooperated with the Hungarian Organization of Protected Plants (VSZOSZ). Now VSZOSZ decided to join the European Federation of Employers in the Social Sector (F.E.D.E.S.). This recently founded federation has been set up in order to participate in the social dialogue initiated by the European Commission, thereby getting involved in new social initiatives at an early stage.
BAG WfbM is one of the founding members of F.E.D.E.S. and has constantly been working on convincing other umbrella organisations of the benefits of a close European cooperation. Only a few weeks ago, the Polish Association for Persons with Mental Handicap (PSOUU) applied for membership in F.E.D.E.S.
