Refugin

The integration of refugees is high on the European agenda, reflecting a mutual process characterized by a number of challenges, including staff shortages, discriminatory attitudes and a lack of coordinated assistance.

REFUGIN focuses on strengthening the role of key civil society professionals in the medium- and long-term integration of young refugees.

The project strives to improve the integration of young refugees by enhancing the knowledge and skills of education professionals and NGOs working comprehensively with forcibly displaced youth, as well as by directly building the capacities of young refugees.
