SOLIDARITY CHRISTMAS BOXES for the most in need!

Calendar from 18/11/2025 to 20/12/2025

Dear elves of the Council of Europe, from Monday 24 November to Friday 19 December, the Amicale invites you to participate in the great Christmas collection by creating your own gift box for a person in need.

How to do it ? It's very simple, take a shoebox and place in it:

  • 1 warm item (gloves, sweater, hat, socks, scarf or rain cape etc.)
  • 1 beauty product (moisturizer, shower gel, shampoo or toothbrush etc.)
  • 1 delicacy (chocolate, sweets or biscuits or bredele etc.)
  • 1 hobby (book, games, comics, crossword or magazine etc.)
  • 1 sweet note (Christmas card, poem or drawing made by your child.)

Below are examples of Christmas boxes.

The boxes are to be wrapped and decorated like a real Christmas present!

Thank you for respecting the "shoe box" format so as not to make anyone jealous during the distribution to people in great precariousness during solidarity New Year's Eve.

Please specify on the packed Christmas box: H (man), F (woman), E (Child) and the size of the garment if you have put one in.

Once your box is completed, please drop it off at one of our 4 collection points:

  1. At the Palais de l’Europe, Amicale office (No. 020, Level 0)
  2. At the EDQM, at the entrance of the cafeteria
  3. At the Agora, in front of the cafeteria (contact BELAID Keltoum 4522 )
  4. At the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), in the entrance hall (contact BELAID Keltoum 4522 ).

All boxes collected will be donated to an association that fights against poverty and for inclusion!

 -  Notre Dame Association and La Cloche Grand Est Association

It's a nice gesture, both simple and strong in this difficult time. Thank you all for your generosity and we wish you great end of year holidays.
