between a wide range of European Regions and has carried out seminars, conferences, study visit programmes and exchanges of

THEMATIC NETWORKS The thematic networks work in an independent way
according to the wishes and needs of members and in order to carry out activities in line with EU policies.
It is in the thematic networks that ENSA’s practical work is done. Members will plan and undertake study visits, exchange programmes, joint and shared projects and special events.
ENSA has no legal status but is underpinned by a democratic and flexible Heads of Agreements document which outlines the objectives of the network and the members competencies

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Members have to participate actively in at least one thematic network and their membership has to be ratified by the General Assembly that is held on an annual basis.

Collaborating with ENSA is a way to increase the dialogue with the European institutions and to become part of an international platform to implement shared projects!
