Phiren Amenca meets EDYN in London
From November 3 to 7, 2015, the Annual Meeting of the EDYN Network was hosted by its British member organization Time for God in London. Phiren Amenca and EDYN are not just connected by the common mission for quality long-term voluntary services, but they share a long history together. Around 2000 several EDYN member organizations founded the RGDTS Roma-Gadje Dialogue through Service Initiative, which has developed after 15 years into the independent Phiren Amenca network, which brings Roma and non-Roma voluntary service organizations together.
In addition to being able to attend the General Assembly of the Network, this year’s annual meeting gave again the space to Phiren Amenca to present our programs and the development of the last year. Spending several days together was a great opportunity for networking and strengthening the cooperation between the two networks. Working groups focused on training, aiming at putting together the experiences of all organizations on a joint platform, and crisis prevention and management, which began to develop practical guidelines for different cases of crisis.
