The first Communications and Advocacy Newsletter of 2022 is now available on our website. The thematic focus is Disability Inclusion, which is one of EU-CORD’s cross-cutting themes.

We start with an introduction to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities before a round-up of the essential learnings from the recently completed Global Disability Summit held in Norway. Then, as usual, we spotlight some of the great work our members are doing on the identified topic of the newsletter before a caution on possible legislation regarding lobbying that affects us all in future. Finally, this newsletter ends with some prayer points on our radar.

The Peace We Build Together: A Global Conversation 

This article launches our Peace Conversation Initiative, bringing together voices from across the EU-CORD network and partner communities. It sets the scene for our upcoming MEP Breakfast in Strasbourg, exploring what positive peace requires and what is at stake when peace is taken for granted.

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

Advent reminds us of the greatest love story ever told: God loved us first and gave us Jesus. In a world facing conflict and crisis, we long for a love that heals, restores, and brings peace. Across the year, EU-CORD members have lived out sacrificial love and acted as peacemakers in fragile contexts. This season, we are called to reflect Christ’s light and embody His love wherever we serve.
