Annual General Meeting 2023

25/04/2023 – 28/04/2023

The Annual General Meeting 2023 was hosted by the Deaconess Foundation in Helsinki, Finland. With the theme ‘Horizons of Hope’ we explored how we can build a Europe of trust, solidarity, and diversity through diaconal work. We discussed how our voices can bring hope in finding solutions to today’s challenges.

The days were fully packed with study visits, workshops and speakers. You can find the pictures, visuals and presentations below.

We look forward to seeing you again during one of our many upcoming events and the next Annual General Meeting 2024 in Bucharest, Romania!
