🪵Exchange of practices on Wood

For 3 days, the community of Brat Albert 🇵🇱 nicely welcomed some members of communities from Switzerland 🇨🇭, Great Britain 🇬🇧, Romania 🇷🇴 and France 🇫🇷 to share their practices of working with wood.

🤝 Led by Emmaus Brat Albert and the amazing skills of its companions, the workshop enabled all the communities present to discover and learn how each of them reuses and renovates wooden furnitures.

🪚 Sanding, polishing, painting... This experience was a great opportunity to see how everyone adds value to these furnitures🪑

✨️We are extremely happy about this exchange of practices.

Thank you to all the participants for coming to Krakow and a special thank you to Brat Albert for this very rewarding experience 🙏

💻 Today, we took part in the round table discussion called "A Responsible and Inclusive Digital: A European Challenge?" organized for the 10th anniversary of @Emmaus Connect.

This French Emmaüs group has been fighting against digital exclusion for ten years and we support their great action! 🙌

They are already involved with Emmaus Satu Mare to develop their action in Romania and they also have some plans in Italy.

We introduced Emmaus Europe's commitment to advocating for Emmaus' values and projects within the EU and among its member states.

🌍 We emphasized the challenges of reusing digital tools and the place that Social and Solidarity Economy actors should keep in this activity, and the importance of maintaining a human-centered approach while safeguarding the rights of individuals to access their social rights, especially in the context of welcoming and assisting exiles.

✊ Together, we're working towards a more responsible, inclusive, and humane digital future in Europe. #EmmausConnect #DigitalResponsibility #InclusiveEurope #HumanRights

🚨 Call for Solidarity 🤝🌍 On Tuesday, Sep

🚨 Call for Solidarity 🤝🌍

On Tuesday, September 12th, more than 5,000 people from Tunisia and Libya arrived at the Italian island of Lampedusa aboard 112 boats. Tragically, a 5-month-old baby lost their life during the chaotic boat rescue.

In 2023 alone, over 118,500 people have reached the Italian coast, nearly double the previous year's number. But behind these statistics are real people risking everything for a better life in Europe.

Lampedusa, a place of hope for many, is struggling with overwhelmed reception facilities. The local hotspot, designed for initial «triage», is filled with 6,000 people, far beyond its capacity of 389 places. This leads to inhumane conditions and forced escapes. Local solidarity efforts have organized food distributions, yet the Red Cross and other organizations are denied access for "safety reasons." 🏥

In response, EU countries are tightening their "no reception policies," closing doors to asylum seekers, making the situation even worse. European Commission President Von der Leyen emphasized controls at sea, expulsions, and outsourcing borders, despite the proven failure of the lack of solidarity associated with these measures.🚫

We are horrified by this situation ! Emmaüs Europe stands with other organizations in an appeal for an open and welcoming Europe. We demand safe access routes, dignified reception conditions, and respect for international asylum laws. 🌟

How to describe in a just few words the emotions a

How to describe in a just few words the emotions and feelings that arose from the Emmaus Football Cup for Peace and Human Rights?

For some, it was “the best five days of [their] lives”! Others describe it as the best Emmaus event they’ve attended in the last decade.

Because we need a few figures, let’s just say that 17 groups from 13 different countries participated in this edition, so around 70 people from 18 to 75 years old, and among them 31 companions made up this amazing team.

This event organised by Emmaus Europe with IFS-Emmaus in Bosnia Herzegovina was full of joy and smiles, but also tears.
The weight of the past and present wars was felt and remembered, as well as the terrible genocide that took place in Srebrenica. Dzile’s testimony, who survived this horrific event, echoed dramatically with the stories of our Ukrainian friends, and the photographs of Abdul, Afghan photojournalist who took the Balkan Route to save himself from the Taliban. His pictures were exhibited during the event and will be shown during our next Assembly in Romania. Daniele’s conference gave all the participants food for thought on how to use non-violence as a weapon.

The football tournament was exactly what we needed to let go of the weight of such touching testimonies. Everyone played, and everyone won!

Now it’s time to go back to school, but these five days definitely hold a special place in our hearts.
Would you join us next time?

Last night in Lviv was a nightmare with the heaviest bombings since the Russian terror started 15 months ago. All our friends at @emmausoselya are safe and no one is injured, but people were killed and injured on this attack on civilians. In Lviv more than 50 houses were damaged and more than 100 apartments were destroyed. Emmaus Oselya would like to provide the victims of this attack with some help - and are prepared to receive trucks with humanitarian aid or other support. Contact Emmanuel at @emmauseurope if your Emmaus group would like to contribute. //Carina

Last day 🇨🇭Visiting Emmaus groups in Switzer

Last day 🇨🇭Visiting Emmaus groups in Switzerland 🇨🇭 today we met with Emmaus La chaux de fonds. 🏔 at 1000 meters high in this old farm leave 18 companions. They have maximized the place to sell as much possible of second end treasuries including traditional Swiss 🕰!
With a team of a 💯 of very involved volunteers they also have 2 other shops in town and near Neufchatel.
Since years they have built a wonderful partnership 🤝with Satu Mare in Romania 🇷🇴
All year long they welcome young Romanian companions who grew up in children’s houses or orphanage. They send solidarity trucks and recently developed together an up cycling project. 👚
We are sad 😢 to leave but we will all meet again at the assembly of Emmaus Europe in October! 🙂🙂🙂

Day 2 - 🇨🇭 Visiting groups in Switzerland. 🇨🇭 We left Fribourg around 07.00 in the morning to be in time for the General Assembly of the Swiss Emmaus Federation in Boncourt, on the border to France. One of the items on the agenda was to elect a new National Delegate - and Anouk, a volunteer from Emmaus Sion will start her mandate from today.
📣We also celebrated the 60th anniversary of Emmaus 🎂 One of the guests - and friends for a long time - was Zbigniew from Emaus Lublin. His gift was a ⏰ceramic timepiece - with three “hands” - one is really fast, the other is slower and the third is really slow - but they all move and lead us into the future.
📣In the afternoon we discovered the activities of Emmaus Jura and played a Carbon Footprint game with Vincent. A good exercise that we will bring to Iasi in October. One of the questions was: How much CO2 does it take to travel by plane from Switzerland to Iasi? (appr. 400 kilo)

At @emmaus.ge in Carouge we met the incredible energy of a team of a hundred volunteers/ employees and companions. 35 male and 15 female companions are living on site. Not bad for one of the oldest community in Switzerland #1957!

In @emmausfribourg 18 male companions are involved in one of the best organized community we have ever seen and with the most delicious food!🥗
They are also involved in paternships with great music festivals one of them taking place in their courtyard 🕺🏻@nopekfestival @lesgeorgesfestival

Visit to Sweden 🇸🇪 and Åland 🇦🇽
These last 2 days our delegation from Emmaus Europe and Emmaus international was in Stockholm.
We met with 7 former, current and (we hope!) future groups of Emmaus to discover each other and see how to cooperate better.🤝
Thanks to former @emmausstockholm now @artikel2 for welcoming us!
Then we took the boat to the Åland Islands 🛳to discover the Emmaus group that was created there in 1989 and now has 26 employees, 15 work trainees, almost 100 volunteers and 3 shops !🤸🏻‍♂️
They pioneered with building material 🧱in 2000 as a EU Socialfund-project. They always have new ideas for up cycling textiles 👗or wood and improved their ecological footprint and support more projects locally and internationally!

Visit to the Emmaus groups in Sweden 🇸🇪 Day

Visit to the Emmaus groups in Sweden 🇸🇪 Day 1
The delegation of Emmaus Europe and international started the visit with 2 groups in Lund.☀️

The Swallows India Bangladesh is one it the oldest Emmaus group in the country. It was created in 1959 to empower the one suffering the most in these 2 countries. They were pioneers in women’s rights and ecology 👩🏾‍🌾and are still supporting 7 partner organizations there ✊🏽.

Emmaus Lund is a more “typical” group with volunteers, employees and people on work training working together in second hand to support social projects in the city.
They are very attached to their flat organisation without hierarchy and support great projects like training Roma women or up cycling activities.👨‍🔧
