OUR HISTORY
The idea of forming an European network was initiated during a lunch meeting at the ICISF conference in Baltimore 2015.
The first meeting was held in Madrid 2016, hosted by SEPLA. The second planning meeting took place in Denmark 2017, hosted by Renée Lander, Air France. The third meeting was in Rome, 2018, hosted by Francesca Bartoccini in Mayday, Italy.
After the planning meetings, a conference took place in Malmö, Sweden, 2019, with 45 participants from 16 countries.
During 2020 150 participants met through the zoom platform, representing around 25 diferent countries. In 2021 a hybrid conference was hosted by Claudine Meyer-Sager in Switzerland with 50 live participants and over 100 digital participants. In October 2022 a conference was held in Madrid hosted by Eurocontrol, Enaire and ECISM with 50 live, and 120 digital participants .
ECISM has also organized extended-meetings. Some of the topics were digital training, mindfulness and training for Polish and Lithuanian peer-supporters.
