Main Projects / Activities

The objectives pursued by SOLIDAR are directly
and exclusively in the public interest, and the
association organises the work of its members in
relation to the following three Pillars and activities
to fulfil its mission and pursue its vision:
a) International cooperation
Influencing policy making to advance
progressive and solidarity-driven development
policies and external action working at
the EU level as well as in relation to other
decision-making bodies such as the ILO and
the UN. Supporting the active cooperation
between member associations and strategic
partners, especially with a view to developing
joint initiatives; reinforcing solidarity and developing exchanges of experience between
organisations, in particular between partners
supported by SOLIDAR members globally.
b) Social affairs and rights
Supporting the work of our members actively
engaged in the support and assistance to poor,
unemployed, migrants and other vulnerable
groups, their active collaboration, exchange
of experiences, policy influence, and joint
action to realise the vision of a Social Europe
through the realisation of the European Pillar of
Social Rights, improving the welfare and social
security systems in member states, fighting
against racism and intolerance, and advancing
progressive proposals for a more sustainable,
solidaric and just development model.
c) Popular and citizenship education
Offering a platform for cooperation, mutual
support and strategic relations for our members
engaged in formal, non-formal and informal
educational activities that foster an educated
and well-informed citizenry and their active
participation in decision-making. Through

learning culture and influencing educational
and development policies of the EU from
the perspective of popular and citizenship
education and the access to lifelong and lifewide learning for all.
