Europe regionThe Europe region consists of 53 countries. Click here to view a list of European National Societies. Within this region, there is a regional network and a number of sub-regional networks.

European coordination committee
The European coordination committee for 2008—2010 is made up of representatives from Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Macedonia, Norway, Portugal and Slovakia. The committee members for this session were elected by National Society youth representatives during the European cooperation meeting held in Croatia in April 2008.

The committee seeks to stimulate the exchange of experiences and ideas, to share a common view on various sorts of vulnerability, and to stimulate the wide involvement of youth within the Red Cross.
