EUROPEAN COALITION - Home

A Key for Inclusion

We work to ensure refugees and migrant advocates have the diplomatic and public space to advocate for their interests. The European Coalition is an organization of European-based refugee, migrant and diaspora-led groups and initiatives.

Our Vision

An Inclusive Europe

A Europe that empowers newcomers. A Europe that integrates communities. A Europe that gives each member of society a voice in the decision-making processes that affect them. A Europe that allows everyone a say in actively shaping their future. The European Coalition of Refugee-led organisations works to make this vision of Europe the reality.
