Mission & Goals
Apatride Network is a coalition of stateless people and stateless-led organisations in the European Union, addressing statelessness regionally but also globally through its various global partnerships. The main pillars of Apatride Network’s work are a response to the key problems in the field of statelessness: low awareness on statelessness, poor connectivity between stateless people and organizations that seek to help, and insufficient cooperation between relevant stakeholders. To the end of resolving these problems, Apatride Network work focuses on the following: 1. Awareness-raising and advocacy 2. Outreach and community building 3. Connecting stateless people to legal aid, supervising and monitoring these cases, while training legal professionals to improve their capacity and knowledge on statelessness 4. Serving as ‘bridge builders’ between relevant actors such as academics, NGOs, UN agencies, state-actors, the media, and other relevant actors.

Communication Activities
Apatride Network members participate in various forums organised in Brussels, such as the European Humanitarian Forum, to advocate for the rights of EU's stateless people. We also work closely with our partners such as European Network on Statelessness, PILnet, and NANSEN to improve the work and capacity of lawyers in regards to statelessness. To that end, we recently joined European Cooperation in Science & Technology. https://nansen-refugee.be/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/231208-Intervisie-Programma-NL.pdf https://statelessjourneys.org/our-supporters/ https://www.fmreview.org/ukraine/ivashuk-kordonets-kanics/ https://www.fmreview.org/issue70/ivashuk/ https://www.instagram.com/apatride.network/p/CynZi0DMUcD/?img_index=1
