The project group of the VEM member church meets regularly to exchange experiences
Our member churches are involved in many countries when it comes to climate and environmental protection. They know what is needed, for example, in the DR Congo, in Indonesia or in Germany. As UEM, our task is to network and support our member churches in this. Together we carry out numerous projects on climate and environmental protection - from the international "Youth Climate Action Day" to the biogas project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The fact that we can act in such a targeted way is made possible through the international character of our community.
