eLiberare is a Romanian organisation focused on preventing human trafficking & sexual exploitation. Our mission is to build a social movement against human trafficking. Our main goal is to equip people to prevent human trafficking in their own communities. Our priorities are five-fold: 1. PREVENTION EDUCATION We decrease the risks of trafficking by making people aware of the issues and empowering them to prevent trafficking in their own communities. We do not only target vulnerabilities, but also seek to spark peer-to-peer prevention initiatives in schools and at community level. 2. CAPACITY BUILDING We resource and equip people through specialized training sessions, such as seminars for social workers, school teachers, police officers, business owners, church leaders and others. Our approach not only targets first-responders, but also non-traditional actors who are leaders within their communities and know the situation firsthand. 3. EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE We come alongside state and private shelters and transition homes that help restore and reintegrate victims and survivors of human trafficking into healthy communities. Whether it's targeted donations or gifts, or mentoring programs that result in survivor-lead resources, our team invests in generously giving back to those who drive our work. 4. STRATEGIC ADVOCACY We create opportunities which bring people together from different sectors of society like businesses, non-profits, governments, schools, churches, arts and media in order to facilitate a multidisciplinary approach to address human trafficking. Our goal is to ensure better legislation that protects victims and counters the culture of impunity, nationally, at a EU-level and globally. 5. AWARENESS EVENTS We proactively go towards those vulnerable and those prone to using services of trafficked individuals in order to inform them about the phenomenon. Our main goal here is to bring the topic into the mainstream, in a respectful and constructive way. To reach this objective, we create online and offline events in order to reach as many people as possible.

Established in 1981, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) is one of the world's largest environmental education organisations, with over 100 member organisations in 81 countries. At the heart of the FEE are our five programmes. Coordinated by the Head Office in Copenhagen and implemented by our members around the world, our programmes aim to bring positive change on a global scale: The internationally recognized Eco-Schools programme engages young people in quality environmental education and meaningful action. Through a seven-step framework, pupils are empowered and motivated to drive change and improve environmental awareness in their school, local community and beyond. Close to 50,000 schools around the world are part of the Eco-Schools programme. Learning about Forests (LEAF) advocates for outdoor learning and hands-on experiences, allowing students to connect with nature and develop a deeper understanding of the natural world. While the LEAF programme started with a focus on tree-based ecosystems, today it includes a diversity of ecosystems to foster skills and knowledge by exposing learners to outdoor experiences. LEAF is implemented in 28 countries. Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) is an award-winning programme that empowers young people to take an educated stand on environmental issues they feel strongly about and gives them a platform to articulate these issues through the media of writing, photography and video. Over 300,000 students engage in the YRE programme yearly. The iconic Blue Flag programme is one of the world's most recognized eco-tourism awards for beaches, marinas, and tourist boat operators. In order to qualify for the Blue Flag, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria must be met and maintained. Over 5,000 beaches, marinas and tourism boats are currently awarded. Green Key is a voluntary eco-certification programme. With more than 4,000 certified hotels and other establishments in 60 countries, Green Key is the leading standard for excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism and hospitality industry. With 40 years of impactful experience in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), FEE's strategic plan - GAIA 20:30 - prioritises climate action across all five programmes to address the urgent threats of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution. FEE's Environmental Education Principles The member organisations of FEE have agreed upon these principles to guide our work towards excellence in EE/ESD: 1. Ensure that participants are engaged in the learning/teaching process. 2. Encourage participants to make reasonable decisions and actions on real life sustainability issues. 3. Encourage participants to work together actively and involve their communities in collaborative solutions. 4. Support participants to examine their assumptions, knowledge, and experiences, in order to develop critical thinking and to be open to change. 5. Encourage participants to be aware of cultural practices as an integral part of sustainability issues. 6. Encourage participants to share inspirational stories of their achievements, failures, and values, to learn from them and to support each other. 7. Continuously explore, test and share innovative approaches, methodologies, and techniques. 8. Ensuring continuous improvements through monitoring and evaluating are central focus of our programmes. FEE's overall Mission is to engage and empower people through education in collaboration with our members and partners worldwide.

JRS Romania motto is: "Accompany, Serve, Advocate" and at JRS Romania, we believe that no one should be forced to flee their home without a place to turn for safety and dignity. Our mission is simple yet profound: to accompany, serve, and advocate for refugees, asylum seekers, and forcibly displaced persons, ensuring that they are not only protected but also given the opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. Since 2000, we have been present in Romania, working side by side with those who have lost everything. We are not just an organization that provides services-we are a community of solidarity, compassion, and action. Our commitment is deeply rooted in the Jesuit tradition of walking alongside the most vulnerable, ensuring that no one is left behind. For us, accompaniment is more than just a word-it's a way of being. When a refugee arrives in Romania, they often face uncertainty, fear, and immense challenges. From the very first moment, we are there. We listen to their stories, we understand their struggles, and we stand with them as they take their first steps toward a new life. Whether it's helping them find a safe place to stay, navigating the asylum system and integration system, or simply offering a warm conversation over a cup of tea, we ensure that no one faces their journey alone. But accompaniment alone is not enough. We are also called to serve-not as distant providers of aid, but as partners in the process of rebuilding lives. Every day, we provide: *Housing and material support-because no one should have to sleep on the streets after fleeing war and persecution. *Legal and social counseling-because navigating a new country's laws and systems can be overwhelming. *Education and vocational training-because refugees deserve a chance to learn, grow, and contribute to their new communities. *Psychosocial support and well-being programs-because healing takes time, and no one should have to bear the burden of trauma alone. Yet, service without justice is incomplete. This is why advocacy is at the heart of what we do. We work tirelessly to ensure that refugees' voices are heard, that their rights are respected, and that the policies shaping their futures are fair and humane. We engage with government institutions, collaborate with international organizations, and challenge harmful narratives that fuel xenophobia and exclusion. Every day, we fight for a Romania that is more welcoming, more just, and more inclusive. Over time, we have advocated for the rights of individuals with tolerated status, ensuring their access to various fundamental rights. Additionally, we have contributed to the revision and improvement of legislation on asylum, foreign nationals, social rights, and employment. Furthermore, we have actively collaborated with other NGOs in advocacy initiatives and campaigns to promote these essential changes. Our vision is a Romania where refugees are not just tolerated but truly welcomed, protected, and empowered. A society where a Syrian family can find safety and start anew without fear. Where a Ukrainian mother can enroll her children in school without barriers. Where an Afghan student can dream of becoming a doctor and make that dream a reality. We dream of a future where refugees are seen not as "others" but as neighbors, colleagues, friends, and fellow citizens. Where diversity is celebrated, not feared. Where every person, regardless of their origin, is given the opportunity to live with dignity and contribute to the common good. At JRS Romania, we do not work for refugees-we work with them and a true example is that JRS Romania has hired more then 100 Ukrainians and other refuges (Syrian and Rwanda). Their resilience inspires us, their struggles push us forward, and their successes remind us why we do what we do.

To come together with people from around the world to put an end to the cause of poverty and discrimination, and to remove the threat of disaster and conflict.

Hospices of Hope's mission is to improve the quality of life for patients in South East Europe who are suffering from a terminal or life-limiting illness through increasing access to palliative care services and palliative care education. Palliative care aims to address the physical, emotional, spirtual and social needs of the patient and give support and guidance to their family members. We fulfil our mission by working with our in-country partner organisations in Romania, Serbia, Albania, Moldova, Greece and Ukraine (which together make up the Hospices of Hope Network) and supporting the training of health care professionals throughout Central and Eastern Europe. All care is provided free of charge to patients and their families. The four main pillars of our work are: 1) advocacy, for example lobbying governments to provide more resources and funding for palliative care and changing legislation where necessary, 2) technical expertise, for example providing expert advice on all aspects of fundraising or hospice buildings, 3) training, for example providing volunteer expert trainers from the UK or USA to help train local staff and 4) providing funding to help grow and develop palliative care services and education. We always aim to provide models of care that can be replicated in other cities or countries in the region, for example in Romania, our hospice was the only one for 10 years, but through our educational initiatives, there are now more than 100 functioning palliative care organisations in the country.
