Mission & Goals

The Sikh diaspora all over continental Europe comprises about 810,000 persons. We do not have an overall structure, excepted by the broad majority of Sikh in Europe, to exchange properly, to defend our rights and to exchange with the EU public of our culture and religion. Another aim of our newly founded organisation is to be in close contact and exchange with EU institutions and the Brussels-based religious and cultural stakeholders. PS: We are the second Sikh structure in Europe. As we do not feel represented (like a certain number of other Sikhs) by the Italy-based "Sikh European Association", we have therefore created the "European Sikh Organisation".
