Project Summary

As a result of the European Relocation and Resettlement Program, most of European countries are now hosting a larger number of refugees and asylum seekers than before, and are therefore developing hosting and integration programs, with the main goal of promoting their full inclusion.
The Refu’In is an international partnership that aims to identify and disseminate good practices on the intervention and inclusion of refugees in their host countries. The good practices found in the different participant countries will result in a Training kit, designed in an innovative way, allowing any entity to train their technicians and therefore improve their intervention strategies with asylum seekers and refugees.
The project involves many different stakeholders in all of its activities: questionnaires that will gather the perspectives of field workers, asylum seekers and refugees, and other relevant technicians in every participating country; focus groups providing insights into how people think and a deeper understanding of the work towards the inclusion of refugees; national forums with external partners and relevant stakeholders, to share preliminary results and receive inputs through working groups; one international conference including a Training kit kickoff session.
The Training kit will be available for any interested entity, allowing, on a longer term, the dissemination of the good practices found and therefore improving the quality of the services provided to the asylum seekers and refugees in Europe, and ultimately reaching a better inclusion.
