The annual meeting is the hub for our network. It has three main purposes:

1. To strengthen the Network
It is the one time every year that we get to meet in person, make new connections and consolidate our vision of a more welcoming Europe.

2. To facilitate Learning and Exchange
With focus on the host country we get to hear from practitioners, best practice and policies, and from FBOs/NGOs, their strategic issues/needs from practitioners.

3. To plan for the coming year
Going in to the second year as an independent organisation we will talk about the future and together elect a strong board for governance and finances and an advisory board.
