In his speech, Dr. Emmanuelli appealed to the topic of humanism.  Dr. Emmanuelli stressed the interdependence of social stratification and social exclusion, interconnection of poverty and homelessness. 

Being a huge megapolis, Moscow demonstrates a high degree of social stratification. The employees of SamusocialMoskva face the same task as their French counterparts: to win the trust of the homeless, to conduct an inspection, to identify deviations, and then to send them to one of the equipped centers. Nevertheless, the Moscow office of Samusocial is experiencing difficulties in obtaining government subsidies and is funded exclusively through private donations.

The participants of the meeting discussed the approaches to the problem of social exclusion in the Russian society, measures taken in this respect at a governmental level, operating organizations providing a systematic approach to tackle it.
