National Societies of Small European Countries
The National Societies of Small European Countries (NASO-SEC, dt. : National companies of small European states , too: Small European Countries' National Societies - SENS Group) are a European network (platform) from Red Cross organizations from small states and statelets .
Foundation, goals and members
The network was founded in 2013 and the members are the national Red Cross societies of small / miniature states in Europe : Andorra , Faroe Islands , Greenland , Iceland , Liechtenstein , Luxembourg , Malta , Monaco , Montenegro , San Marino and Cyprus .
With this network (platform), the smaller Red Cross organizations want to give their voice more weight in the entire Red Cross organization and exchange ideas. The interests and challenges of smaller national Red Cross societies are sometimes very different from those of larger members.
The network has met once a year, alternately in one of the member states, since 2014. The meeting took place in Luxembourg on October 2-3, 2014, in Iceland on June 24-25, 2015, and in Monaco in 2016.
