On the occasion of our 21st General Assembly, our Confederation met in Brussels (Belgium) on 10-11 June. Over the two days, delegates from the 57 national platforms, networks and associate members gathered to celebrate the successes of the past year and how to further enhance our joint strategy.
Our General Assembly 2021, brought our Confederation together, virtually once again, from all corners of Europe. The two days provided a key moment for us to look back at what we have achieved and look forward to our future, together.

Our 17th General Assembly was the first of its kind as our Confederation came together virtually from all corners of Europe. In the shift towards international partnerships, our Members jointly exchanged on the future development cooperation in a geopolitical world.
