Last week, we had our members’ meeting in the vibrant seaside capital of Finland, the laid back and yet refreshingly active Helsinki. The meeting programme covers all relevant topics, gathered the essential feedback on our previous achievements as well as our plans and last but not least, created a ground where our collaborators exchanged their expertise with one another.

Since the launch of our monitoring tool for harm reduction in the European Union and some neighbouring countries, our Focal Points have been working on compiling the required data, selflessly. During our meeting, we discussed their feedback on the tool and the process and carried it out with a thorough evaluation.

While our members updated us about the developments in their respective countries in regards to drug policy and harm reduction interventions, we shared our plans concerning our future priorities.

The meeting was closed with a peak of its own. On Friday morning, in the context of the presidency, we joined HIV Finland at the seminar Wellbeing Economy – A way to sustainability in the HIV and AIDS response? We talked about practical ways to reach sustainable wellbeing with dignity and fairness for people who use drugs. How rewarding!
