SMES-Europa
in
the frame of Phase III of
project "Dignity and
Wellbeing" (2021-23),
invites your Organisation to
participate in this initiative:
“SHELTER : Emergency
Services - towards new
perspectives" an urgent
recall and opportunity for
innovation of emergency
services.
Emergency and Shelter
two words that recall in
particular this dramatic period
conditioned by the Covid19 with
his victims and the cold
emergency that is repeated every
year causing victims among the
most vulnerable people, the
homeless permanently living at
the streets .
The aim of
the project will be :
after a study carried out in
several European capitals on
shelters in order to allow a
more careful and thorough
reading of the emergency
services and the guests welcomed,
but also to see the consistency
with the principle of respect
for the dignity and well-being
of the person to propose new
measures and select the most
innovative practices among
emergency services for the
homeless.
Probably in
your city, as in most European
capitals, the ‘cold emergency
plan’ is launched in November
responding to the urgent needs
of people rough sleeping.
‘One shelter for all’
was frequently the past slogan,
but today – due to Covid 19 -
we listen more and more the
slogan ‘stay at home’.
How to balance these slogans for
people who are homeless?
While the Covid emergency was in
a way unpredictable, the annual
winter emergency (November -March),
although predictable, gives rise
to the same arrangements every
year.
SMES-Europa
would like to promote a
reflective process on emergency
services provided for the
homeless, in a three year
program:
-
The
characterization of
shelters and emergency
services regarding
accessibility
conditions, congruence
between needs and
services, quality and
continuity of care
(2021).
-
The
promotion of exchanges
about efficient
practices (2022)
-
To
propose an event at
European Parliament and
the XV EMS Conference in
Rome (2023) bringing the
results of the exchanges
of experience - good
practices and innovative
and efficient proposals.
We really
look forward to your
participation, which will give
continuity to project “Dignity
and WellBeing” developed by SMES.
In attached
file you will find a short
resume of the project.

information please do not
hesitate to contact us.
