Within its overall remit, the ERC works to create better awareness about the situation of refugees among Estonian public, especially the youth. Since the number of refugees is rather low and they do not stand out in public debates, the awareness is very low about the specific problems refugees face. Quite often the public considers refugees as regular or irregular migrants rather than people who are fleeing harassment or dangerous situations. There is a need to develop better awareness about refugees: who they are, why they flee, what kind of situations they go through and what kind of help they need.
Its main acitivities include: participation in the creation of development policy; advocating for greater transparency in Estonia’s development policy; informing the general public about development topics and global education; information exchange with development non-profit organisations, international networks and individuals; capacity building for AKÜ’s members; preparation and implementation of development projects in areas that AKÜ’s members are not active in; and organising training.
