A discussion with Anu Lähde, national delegate for Finland on the board of Emmaus Europe.

Two years ago Emmaus Bolton opened workshops where they make wooden items and upcycle furniture. The idea behind this was to provide the companions with the opportunity to acquire new skills and it has worked a treat!

The action plan sets out three headline targets – on the topics of employment, skills and social protection – to be achieved by 2030, with the main objective being the fight against poverty and social exclusion.

Dialogue based on interviews held with William Caro, Bernard Grondin, Sandrine Techer and Nelly Calimoutou of Emmaus Reunion as well as with Emmanuel Cazeau and Wilfrid Bertille of Emmaus Grand Sud and with Bruno Pichon of Agame.
