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.
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.
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

| Volunteering in the spotlight: Diakonie konkret |
|
March 29 2011 Our German member, Diakonisches Werk der EKD, has decided to make the theme of this year "Voluntarily Engaged" corresponding with the European Year of Volunteering 2011. Johannes Stockmeier, the new president of DW der EKD, praises the work of all their volunteers as he explains that diaconal work without the input of volunteers is unimaginable nowadays. Volunteering is necessary in society and shows how creative people can be when it comes down to caring about one and other. To give recognition to the hard and loving work of the volunteers, DW der EKD has made a publication called "Diakonie konkret" which looks at the different aspects of volunteering. You can order this publication for 2.5 EURO by filling in the form and sending it to: Zentraler Vertrieb des Diakonischen Werkes der EKD
