The European Movement for Detention Houses now has members in seventeen European countries

For a movement, growth is important. But equally important is how you grow as a movement. RESCALED is a movement of people who share values on a personal level.

We are honoured to welcome ten new members to the movement and look forward to all the synergies in the near future! On June 11th, the RESCALED General Assembly welcomed ten new members:

    • Release (Ireland)
    • Village of Hope (Estonia)
    • Richtungswechsel (Austria)
    • Associazione Antigone (Italy)
    • Association Possible (France)
    • Stichting Sileo (the Netherlands)
    • Silta-Valmennusyhdistys ry (Finland)
    • Coalition of NGOs for Child Protection KOMF (Kosovo)
    • CPIP – Center for Promoting Lifelong Learning (Romania)
