The first Digital Emmaus Study Circle took off t

The first Digital Emmaus Study Circle took off tonight. 21 participants from 13 different Emmaus groups in Finland and Sweden discussed the Universal Manifesto and what it means to us today. We are analysing the founding texts of our movement - and it is so inspiring. ❤️ We will meet once a month until December and I am already looking forward to next time. ☀️ Yours Carina /President of Emmaus Europe #emmausinternational #emmauseurope #studiecirkel

☀️💡Have you heard about Emmaus’ summer camps ?

🌍 On his way back from a trip to Sweden Abbé Pierre encouraged young people from all backgrounds to lend a hand in the fight against poverty. 1963 thus marked the beginning of Emmaus’ summer camps which were known back then as “international camps for working holidays”. These camp events led to the creation of several Emmaus groups and many people committed to the movement for the long term after having attended a summer camp.

👉 Nowadays the summer camps are irreplaceable annual events for our movement! Emmaus groups from all across Europe host young people in their communities, inviting them to get involved in the day-to-day activities of the group. Experiencing the ‘Emmaus life’ at a camp event is both a form of solidarity and a meaningful way of spending your summer holidays! 🤩

You can find more information on these camp events on our website (👉 link in the bio) and, for the French summer camps, via @emmausexperience

☀️ Do you want to "help us help others", as Abbé Pierre used to say?

Every year camps are organised all across Europe by the Emmaus groups! These events are an opportunity for you to contribute to Emmaus' work whilst enjoying a great and meaningful experience.

📣 Together, we are calling to #AbolishFrontex

📣 Together, we are calling to #AbolishFrontex!

🚧 Frontex is the European Union’s border police force. It is a key actor in the EU’s war on people who move.

Frontex is the largest EU agency. With a 5.6 billion euro budget, Frontex will soon have an army of 10,000 border guards able to own and use firearms. Across and beyond the EU, the agency deploys ships, planes, drones, patrol cars, and radars; it takes active part in deportations; it helps third countries surveil and police people on the move. It often depicts migration as a ‘threat’; a narrative that only feeds the rise of nationalism, racism, xenophobia and islamophobia.

As a member of @migreurop, Emmaus Europe support the #AbolishFrontex campaign, which claims:

-Abolish Frontex
-Regularise migrants
-Stop all deportations
-End detention
-Stop the militarisation of borders (and the military industrial complex)
-Stop the surveillance of people on the move
-Empower solidarity
-Stop the EU’s role in forcing people to move
-Freedom of movement for all
-End the EU border regime

📣It's time to #AbolishFrontex and the system it represents!

⚰️ The militarised policies of Fortress Europe have killed over 40,555 people since 1993: drowned in the Mediterranean, shot at borders, died by suicide at detention centers, tortured and killed after being deported.

🚧 Frontex, the European Union’s border agency, personifies the EU's repressive migration and border policies. It systematically violates human rights throughout its operations.

As a member of @migreurop, Emmaus Europe support the #AbolishFrontex campaign, which claims:

-Abolish Frontex
-Regularise migrants
-Stop all deportations
-End detention
-Stop the militarisation of borders (and the military industrial complex)

To meet representatives of the local authorities i

To meet representatives of the local authorities is an important part of the lobbying work in Emmaus Europe. Today, the President of Emmaus Europe, Carina Aaltonen, Eve Poulteau CEO and Maryse Faure CEI of Emmaus International and the National Delegate from the South-East region Sabina A Jahic met the Deputy Prefect of Osijek-Baranja County and Ivana Stanic, Head of Department for Health, Social Welfare and Croatian Veterans in Osijek - Baranja County. From both sides we see, recognise and welcome the important prevention work that is done by Tomislav Ramljak and his team at the Center for Missed and Abused Children. There are never enough financial resources to cover the needs of the social sector, but when the local authorities give support to NGO’s like CNZD, every euro and cent is well invested money. The newly elected Deputy Prefect of Osijek has a long background from social work in this region. The cooperation between the county and the Emmaus trial member group will continue. @cnzd.hr @emmauseurope @emmausinternational @sabina.a.jahic @evedemontreuil @carinaaaltonen

The Emmaus trial member group in Osijek, Croatia CNZD and the president Tomislav Ramljak is working hard to protect vulnerable children . The Center for Missed and Abused Children, CNZD, has been active for more than ten years in protecting children from abuse and sexual exploitation via the Internet. To be able to help more children he would like to build a new center for schoolchildren in Nasice - the Emmaus house. The plan is to replace the old building with a 240 m2 modern half day center, as soon as he will find a solution for the financing of the center. In Osijek, a new center, 700 m2 is already on the way. CNZD got 1,2 million euro from the European Union, 100% of the costs. This center will be the first of its kind in Croatia and will provide social services to children in need of various support, treatments and there will also be a team working on preventing violence and abuse. Tomislav and his team is doing an extremely important work in a country where very little investments and budget lines are reserved for the youngest and most vulnerable citizens. #emmauseurope #cnzd #emmausinternational #humanrights #stopsexualexploitationofchildren

In Tuzla IFS-Emmaus is running a small day center

In Tuzla IFS-Emmaus is running a small day center for migrants that are passing through on the Balkan route. Janeta, Mirela and Hamsa are giving people an unconditional welcome, food, clean clothes and most important: a possibility to a warm shower, a cup of coffee, Wi-Fi and an opportunity to feel like a normal person. The center is open only at day time. Janeta and Mirela need our help to be able to help more migrants with food and clean clothes. #solidarity #emmauseurope

The Blue line, a hot line,for children in the Repu

The Blue line, a hot line,for children in the Republika Srpska in Bosnia Hercegovina is one of the activities of the Emmaus trial group Nova generacija. They receive appr. 100 phone calls per day. (5000 since the beginning of this year). Five employees and 20 volunteers are ready to be the voice in the other end of the line or on the chat. It is a difficult but important mission and sometimes they help the kids and youth to get out from very dangerous situations. #emmauseurope #emmausinternational #unisef #savethechildrenworldwide #blueline

The first day of the field trip goes to the trial

The first day of the field trip goes to the trial group TOMS in Trogir, Croatia. They have appr. 100 employees, appr. 300 beneficiaries and 300 members and will soon open a center for old people with dementia. No wonder why the Major of the Municipality of Trogir is very happy with the cooperation with TOMS. Eve, Theo, Maryse and Carina are very well taken care of. The restaurant is run by a majority of people with disabilities. #emmauseurope

Face au Covid-19, la protection de chacun passe par la protection de tous. Or, aujourd’hui, 90% des personnes habitant dans les pays aux plus faibles revenus ne verront sans doute pas l’ombre d’un vaccin durant l’année à venir. En cause : des grandes multinationales pharmaceutiques qui font du profit sur cette pandémie, au détriment de la santé des gens.

En signant cette pétition, vous dîtes oui à la solidarité et non aux profits privés ! Nous avons déjà collecté plus de 150 000 signatures, aidez-nous à en obtenir 1 million.
