Regional Circular 21 2015 – #RefugeePesponseSeminar 2015: Invitation & Programme
Not just since this summer we have been witnessing one of the biggest migrant crises in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing wars and migrants escaping poverty have arrived in the Europe in an unprecedented wave. Migrants and refugees streaming into Europe from Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia have presented European countries with a huge challenge.
The European Scout Region is present and supports National Scout Organisation (NSOs) and National Scout Associations (NSAs) responding in whatever way they choose to act; directly or indirectly increasing awareness about the forcibly displaced and stateless, as well as easing and relieving their staying in the countries they pass through.
The RefugeeResponseSeminar 2015 is one of the many attempts to respond to the refugee and migrant crisis. It is organised by The Danish Scouts and Guides with the support of the European Scout Region and the Messengers of Peace initiative. It is a seminar which will help participants understand the current situation in Europe, understand how to better work with and support the migrants and refugees in cooperation with the local communities and partners, share project ideas and set a concrete idea for a project and plan of action.

Lend a hand in South Aegean islands
Scouts and Guides contributing to refugee support activities in their local communities in Europe (26): a story from SHO – The Greek Guiding Association
The Greek Guiding units on the island of Kos and on other Dodecanese islands in the southeastern Aegean Sea, have been helping in the distribution of supplies to recently arrived refugees and also in interacting with their young children. “Children are the same everywhere; you do not need to know the language to play with them. It feels good to be able to offer them a smile, a way to forget the images they have witnessed and just be carefree, be children again” says a Young Leader from Kos.
During, the weekend the Greek Guides units from the islands of Kos, Rhodes and Leros joined together to help in three major ways: One team organised playgroups to play, sing and make crafts with the children. Another team helped in the cleaning of the shores or of other important places in the town and also, in the distribution of food and clothing. A third team collected and sorted the clothing, in order to help the “Kos solidarity” organisation.
The smiles of these people remain our inspiration to continue lending a hand and make real our Guiding Promise.

Regional Circular 20 2015: European Scout Committee – Midterm Review
Earlier this year, the European Scout Committee decided to conduct a mid-term review, to be undertaken under the lead of an external consultant, of its work and share the results in full transparency with the NSOs/NSAs.
The scope of the review, with the involvement of many stakeholders, was to evaluate half way through the triennium, the work performed.
The report is seen as a tool in the hands of the European Scout Committee; it will help improve the work being done, targeting ultimately the implementation and fulfillment, in the most efficient way, of the Regional Scout Plan and in the most effective way for the National Scout Organisations and National Scout Associations.
The resulting Midterm Review Report is now available for consideration.
