General Assembly 2027
Welcome to the page dedicated to the 2027 Emmaus Europe General Assembly.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina for our next General Assembly! Join us from 26th – 30th April 2027 for this key moment in the Movement’s history.
On this page, you’ll find all the information you need to sign up and take part. You can also click on the buttons below to find out more about the assembly!
PARTICIPATION
The registration form is available online here. Registrations are open until 28th February 2027 at the latest.
The assembly is open to all groups, whether they are full members or trial members of Emmaus Europe. To begin with, participation is limited to two people per group. Each completed form is valid for one person; if several people are attending, you will need to fill out the form separately for each person you wish to register.
If you would like to sign up additional people, please complete the registration form. They will automatically be added to the waiting list until registration is closed.
However, if the third person that you would like to register is a companion or a person supported by the group, their registration will be automatically accepted, without having to join the waiting list.
Please use the online registration form if possible. If it is too complicated, you can always fill in this form and return it by email to sarajevo2027@emmaus-europe.org.
PARTICIPATION RATES
There are several rates detailed below. These rates cover the cost of your stay in Sarajevo (accommodation, meals, visits, holding the assembly).
The standard participation rate for the assembly is €450 per participant. The real cost of one person attending is actually around €550 for the week. Thanks to the annual subscriptions paid by the groups, we are able to offer you a discounted rate. Many thanks to you all!
- Standard rate: €450
- Solidarity rate: €550
- Reduced rate: €350
- Youth rate (under 30): €100 off the selected rate
If your group can afford it, it is possible to select the solidarity rate to contribute towards the participation of a representative from another group that is struggling financially.
On site, no additional fees will be requested. However, travel costs to Sarajevo must be covered by the groups.
More information about the rates and payment methods can be found here.
VOTING RIGHTS
Only full member groups have voting rights. To be able to vote, these groups must be up to date with their subscription payments since the previous General Assembly, in other words for the years 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.
As part of the registration process, you can pay any outstanding subscriptions.
In order to vote, the Chairperson of your group must complete and return the MANDATE/PROXY document below.
Please send us the completed document by 28th February 2027.
To find out how to fill out this document, please refer to the diagram and instructions below.
- For groups that will be with us in Sarajevo: when registering online, upload the completed voting mandate for the ordinary general assembly and the extraordinary general assembly. The document should nominate one of the delegation members as the person who can vote.
- For groups that cannot attend: Please complete the proxy section of the document. Your vote will be cast by another group on your behalf. You can either nominate a group directly or check the “Blank Proxy” box so that the Chair of Emmaus Europe can allocate the proxies to ensure a quorum is reached.
Each group may cast a maximum of two votes by proxy in addition to its own vote.
GETTING THERE
We recommend that you arrive on 26th April and leave on 30th April. Shuttle buses will be arranged on those days between Sarajevo airport and our meeting venue.
Please send us details of your travel arrangements as soon as possible via the form or by email. We will then be able to welcome you under the best possible conditions and arrange the shuttle service.
Important information: Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a member of the European Union or the Schengen Area. If you hold an identification document from a member country of the Schengen Area or the European Union, you can travel without a visa.
