The Salvation Army’s Report on Roma inclusion out now
The Salvation Army EU Affairs Office, a member of Eurodiaconia active across the continent, has recently published a report on their…
Roma inclusion is a hot topic here in Brussels, especially in view of the recent EU Framework on national Roma integration strategies just adopted. We also know how important
it is for Eurodiaconia members to share with others about their work with local Roma communities. For this reason Eurodiaconia established a Roma Network in 2009, and the Network has been growing and developing. The Network meets annually but we also send out a monthly Roma Network e-news covering Roma specific EU policy news, events, calls for proposals and resources and publications. If you have information to share with the Network such as an event announcement or a publication that you would like to feature in an issue of the Roma e-news, please feel free to send me the information at stephan.burger@eurodiaconia.org
Eurodiaconia has written a policy paper on social rights for Roma as well as a briefing for our members which explains how to get involved in Eurodiaconia’s Roma work as well as how to use the policy paper.
