All European regions were present with over 30 participants, including members of the European and World YMCAs executive teams.
The main agenda item was an update on the response strategy as a consequence of the war in Ukraine.
Our team reported on the implementation of the strategy, the impact through communications and projects, the resource mobilisation campaign and the involvement of external partners.
Adapting our adopted strategy to the new situation affecting Ukraine, the neighbouring countries and the whole Europe, has been a key objective over the past 100 days.
In addition, identifying project initiatives led by National YMCAs on the front line and being able to support them directly has been the role of YMCA Europe in partnership with our stakeholders and donors.
The details of the Response Strategy, including the allocation of resources and further project initiatives will be presented and discussed at the General Assembly as announced at the NGS meeting.
Once again thank you for the commitment, support and solidarity of all our member YMCAs!
