The Europe Region
WAGGGS organises or undertakes a range of different activities to
support the development of Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting in Europe.
- European seminars and workshops
- Tool-kits
- European events
European seminars and workshops
A number of seminars or workshops are organised throughout the year
by the Europe Region WAGGGS. Seminars may be organised on the
development of non-formal educational programmes within Associations
or an Association’s external relations, Leaders’
training or to provide more strategic support, depending on the
specific needs of our Member Organisations. They are
also an opportunity for Associations to exchange experiences and
develop partnerships which will assist their future work.

forthcoming seminars organised by the Europe Region WAGGGS.
A detailed description of each seminar and the application process
will be available in Europak
(the monthly e-mailing produced jointly by the Europe Region WAGGGS
and the European Scout Region)
shortly before it is due to take place.
Seminars and workshops on themes of common interest are also organised
jointly with the European
Scout Region. Equal opportunities, the development of partnerships
and Volunteering are just some of the subjects covered recently
by these joint seminars. Details of all seminars together with application
forms are always published in Europak
several months in advance of the event.
Tool-kits
As well as holding seminars and workshops, the Europe Region WAGGGS
has begun to produce a series of tool-kits as part of the support
available to Associations in the Region.
The toolkits contain background information and practical exercises
or advice which Associations can use to work on particular areas
of development or to help them find solutions to particular problems.

The Beyond Barriers toolkit aimed at helping Associations be more
inclusive towards young people with disabilities was finalised and
produced jointly with the European
Scout Region in April 2004 and is available by clicking this

A toolkit to help Associations be more inclusive towards young people
with disabilities and to help Associations deal with the issue of
Child Protection will be produced jointly with the European
Scout Region in 2003 and will be distributed through EUROPAK
when they have been completed.
European projects or Events

based on the theme of ‘Building World Citizenship.
In August 2003, la Corpo Nacional de Escutas – Escutismo Catolico
Portugües hosted 'Roverway2003 – People in Motion’
