ENIEC is a non-profit European network of professionals and volunteers that seek to secure equal chances on good health, well-being and quality of life for older people with a migrant background and older persons from ethnic minorities in Europe.
ENIEC offers an informal platform for members working or volunteering in the field of elderly care, social work, housing, architecture, public health and the public sector, or those who have a connection with these fields through teaching, science or policy making. By sharing experiences and knowledge, ENIEC members develop new practices in elderly care, social work, public health and the public sector for older persons from ethnic minorities. Members across borders in Europe use the platform for mutual support, cooperation and new initiatives in an atmosphere of inclusion and understanding.
ENIEC membership is directed at individual professionals, who work and volunteer in different professional fields from social care to nursing, management, policy and research. The members meet once every spring for an annual meeting, during which the general assembly also takes place, in different members’ cities. Joint initiatives are encouraged throughout the year.
ENIEC members come from all across Europe: Estonia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Dominican Republic, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Norway, The Netherlands, Türkiye, Sweden, Spain and the United Kingdom
