On October 22nd & 23rd, the directors of JRS European country offices and the regional office team met for the Regional Coordination Meeting. Gathered in Brussels, the group discussed the latest achievements and challenges faced at work in the continent

The meeting also marked the kickstart of the planification process of the New Strategic Framework which will be operated for the years 2026-2030. The current Strategic Framework 2019-2024 was extended until the end of 2025 to better align with the Global Strategic Framework from JRS International, currently under development.

Alberto Ares, JRS Europe Regional director, highlighted after the RCM: “This meeting was crucial to start discussing what is the context we are facing, what are the new trends we see emerging, and what are the main priorities we should focus on in the upcoming years. While the process of drafting the Strategic Framework will last all of 2025, we already received a lot of insight from the people who know best the situation on the ground. We are thankful for the active participation and engagement from all directors”.
