• Our work

    Eurodiaconia links diaconal actors to examine social needs, develop ideas and influence policies impacting Poverty and Social Exclusion, Social and Health Care Services and the Future of Social Europe.

    Eurodiaconia also provides a platform for transnational networking and best practice sharing.  

     

  • Our vision

    As the leading network for diaconal work in Europe, we look to develop dialogue and partnership between members and influence and engage with the wider society.  We do this to enable inclusion, care and empowerment of the most vulnerable and excluded and ensure dignity for all.

     

  • Our goals

    We aim to see a positive social change in Europe through:

    Praxis, enabling membership engagement and partnerships

    Advocacy, creating a network of competence to impact policies at European and national level

    Identity and values, supporting the development of approaches and thinking on Diaconia in Europe today

Eurodiaconia launches its new Short-Term Volunteer Forum on the International Day of the Volunteer

Are you a diaconal organisation looking to send and/ or host volunteers from across Europe? To mark the Internation Day of the Volunteer, Eurodiaconia is launching today a “Volunteer Forum” to help facilitate the short-term placements of volunteers amongst its members. This Forum is an online space where members of Eurodiaconia can post calls for volunteers and where other members can find information about possible short-term placements to send volunteers. The placement is short-term and must be between 1 week and no more than 6 months. If you are looking for a year of volunteering in a diaconal organisation, please see our partners EDYN who organise such a year.
