Charter of Solidarity

Poverty is not inevitable in today's world.
We can all work together for a world of solidarity.
Following the 2011 Volunteering Forum, organised by the Central Staff Committee, the staff of the European Institutions has come together to support micro-projects fighting poverty, for the most deprived, and thereby continue to convey the spirit of the founders of a united Europe.
They respond and contribute to this great momentum to attempt to meet some of the many challenges of poverty in the world.
This commitment to solidarity should be encouraged and enhanced.
To achieve this, a Committee for the mobilisation of solidarity has been created in the European Institutions.
With the support of the humanitarian associations and the actions which have already been taken, this committee is called on to promote the involvement of European Institutions staff - citizens of Europe and of the world -, in the fight against poverty.
The Committee will provide a catalyst for future initiatives and, with the support of the main associations and humanitarian actions within the European Institutions, develop a strong momentum of solidarity.
The Committee members are focused to implement these goals and to celebrate each year the solidarity actions that have been undertaken, on the Solidarity Day which is dedicated to them (9 May).
