Europe Direct -Adriatic (Siječanj 2026- Prosinac 2030)
ENG. As of 1 January 2026, Emedea will become the Europe Direct – Adriatic Croatia Centre, i.e. a European Commission information centre at the regional level in Šibenik-Knin County, in Adriatic Croatia, bringing EU policies, programmes, and opportunities closer to citizens. Through education activities, events, and advisory services, the Centre focuses on informing citizens, encouraging their participation in European topics, and strengthening European values at the local level. The Emedea will manage the Centre on behalf of the European Commission for the period 2026–2030.

HR Europe Direct je informacijski centar Europske komisije na regionalnoj razini koji građanima približava politike, programe i mogućnosti EU-a. Kroz edukacije, događanja i savjetovanja potiče informirano sudjelovanje građana, dijalog o europskim temama te jačanje europskih vrijednosti na lokalnoj razini. Udruga Emedea upravlja centrom u razdoblju od 2026.do 2030.g.
HER4DEV (Svibanj 2026-Svibanj2027)
HER4DEV – Žene Hrvatske i Senegala za održivi lokalni razvoj i žensko poduzetništvo nastao je iz zajedničke ideje dviju kolegica, jedne iz Hrvatske i jedne iz Senegala, koje su kroz prijateljstvo i suradnju odlučile izgraditi most između svojih zajednica i pokrenuti projekt koji će ženama u Senegalu otvoriti nove prilike za razvoj, edukaciju i ekonomsku neovisnost.
Projekt povezuje dvije obale Mediterana i vodi se mišlju da prilika pružena jednoj ženi često postaje početak promjena za mnoge druge živote, za njezinu obitelj, djecu, zajednicu i generacije koje dolaze.
Projekt provodi udruga EMEDEA u partnerstvu sa senegalskom organizacijom ACCEENT, uz financiranje Ministarstva vanjskih i europskih poslova Republike Hrvatske.
Aktivnosti projekta odvijaju se u regiji Thiès u Senegalu, u gradu Ngaparou, gdje tim sastavljen pretežito od Hrvatica i Senegalki pruža podršku ženama Thièsa u razvoju njihovih vlastitih mikro-poduzetničkih ideja i osiguravanju održivih izvora prihoda.
Projekt započinje prikupljanjem njihovih potreba i analizom problema, nakon čega slijedi suradnja na izradi adekvatnog edukacijskog programa, a zatim i edukacije i praktične radionice na terenu za 30 do 40 žena, tijekom kojih će razvijati svoje poslovne ideje, učiti nove vještine i osmišljavati vlastite izvore prihoda. Najbolje ideje nagradit će se i simboličnom financijskom podrškom za daljnji razvoj.
Uz to što prenosi znanja, iskustva i prakse iz jednog kontinenta u drugi, HER4DEV ulaže i u buduću još tješnju, dugoročnu i kvalitetnu suradnju Hrvatske i Senegala, posebno važnu u današnjem globalnom kontekstu, povezujući organizacije i zajednice koje vjeruju da održivi razvoj počinje onda kada ljudi dobiju priliku i prostor da aktivno sudjeluju u stvaranju promjena.
NEBVOICES -NEB Voices for Europe's Future (2026-2028)
