Our Work
Advocacy
Eurodiaconia advocates for empowerment and social justice by linking members’ experiences with EU policies, working to represent the voice of social and health service providers, for a people-centered approach to policy-making and economic governance.
Capacity Building
The Social Europe Academy is Eurodiaconia’s capacity-building programme for members. The programme includes training, workshops and other initiatives on EU funding, advocacy, communications and other themes that build the skills and knowledge base of our member organisations, reinforces mutual learning and promotes collaboration. The Social Europe Academy also provides resources for Christian organisations working on social and care services and advocating for fundamental rights and social justice.
Funding
Eurodiaconia supports its members regarding external & EU funding through monitoring the publication of calls for proposals by the European Commission and other European organisations, sharing information about funding opportunities to the membership and supporting them with the application process or connecting them to project partners.
