On the 7th of March, 2013 the European Council on Refugees and Exiles Board approved BCHR’s application for ECRE Alliance Membership. Thereafter the Centre has become part of vibrant and dynamic network of refugee assisting organisations working throughout Europe. To date, the network comprises 70 Member organisations in 30 countries promoting protection and integration of refugees who seek protection in Europe in the environment of human rights, human dignity and an ethic of solidarity.ECRE achieves its aims through various advocacy initiatives, strengthening networking between refugee-assisting non-governmental organisations, as well as through development of NGO institutional capacity. The Council draws upon participation and committment of its non-governmental organisations network and strong Brussels-based secretariat. Its working methods are guided by democratic values in order to mobilise the widest possible involvement of the Member organisations, into the working and advisory groups, regional fora and Europe-wide networks.
The BCHR team is looking forward its cooperation within the ECRE network.
