Connecting faith and social justice through action

Social Inclusion

Eurodiaconia’s members foster the social inclusion of vulnerable groups through their daily work. Together with our members, we’re aiming to create a Europe where everyone can thrive and live in dignity. Central to our advocacy efforts are social protection measures such as adequate minimum income schemes and access to the labour market for vulnerable groups as well as the promotion of active participation, particularly for disadvantaged groups or voices often overheard, such as young people. By addressing systematic barriers and advocating for inclusive policies, we seek to ensure that no one is left behind and promote social justice.
