Estonian Refugee Council is launching the Estonian Refugee Forum, an informal representative body comprising the beneficiaries of international protection. The forum is designed to empower people with refugee background to advocate for their communities and collectively address their concerns.

We are issuing a call for applications to identify up to 25 beneficiaries of international protection (beneficiaries of refugee status, temporary protection and subsidiary protection) from across Estonia who are eager to actively represent their communities' interests. If you desire to participate in decisions that affect you and uphold the principle of "nothing about me without me,” while striving for Estonia to be an inclusive place for all, we encourage you to apply.

Up to 25 representatives will be selected from the applicants who will engage in a relevant training programme. With the support by the Estonian Refugee Council, they will meet regularly to assess refugee needs, pinpoint service gaps, and work together to find solutions.

The application deadline is April 24. 

More information and application: https://hr.pagulasabi.ee/en/members-estonian-refugee-forum

The programme is supported by UNHCR.

We have grown into the largest humanitarian organization in the Baltic States! We delivered 4 generators to Ukraine, the purchase of which was supported by Estonian donors through the "Give Spark" campaign. Generators are in operation in the local governments of the Zaporizhzhya region, where they help to keep the necessary equipment running in case of power outages and allow those in need to charge communication devices. We went on a monitoring visit to Kyiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhya and Zaporizhzhya region, among other things, we registered for the first time those in need near the front in Komyshuvakh. We made videos of Ukrainian women's businesses that got wind from our "Empowering Women" programme. In December and January, we collected more than 33,000 euros in donations. Thank you!
