The last Congress took place in Athens, Greece, in June 2008. At the Congress delegates of the member organisations decide on the main political issues and elect the Executive Committee. Council Delegates of each member organisation have the right to attend the Council meetings. At each Council delegates discuss a particular theme which is relevant to the host organisation.
