This page lists back issues of our monthly newsletter, Around Europe. Around Europe is QCEA’s newsletter, which is sent to subscribers ten times per year. It includes news on our work, and on other developments of concern to Quakers and others. Back issues of Around Europe are uploaded to the website and are publicly available from around a month after their original publication.

Around Europe is published in English, and selected articles from it are translated into German by volunteers. These translations are published on a regular basis, and links to them will be posted here. We do not currently translate Around Europe into French; please contact us if you are able and willing to volunteer to do so!
