The European Movement International Federal Assembly took place on Friday, 8 November 2019 in Helsinki co-hosted by the European Movement International and the European Movement Finland.

Once a year, member organisations of the European Movement International network gather for our Federal Assembly to discuss the state of the organisations, debate the big issues that face Europe, as well as set a course for the organisation to follow in the year ahead.

All member organisations have the right to be represented by their leadership (or appointed delegates). The EM International Board also meets at the margins of the Federal Assembly, as do the Political Committees.

Below can be found details on the Assembly on Friday 8 November, as well as information on a side event organised on Thursday 7 November and social activities organised on Saturday 9 November.
