ECRE Seminar on Social Innovation for Refugee Inclusion (2 days)
How can social innovation and social innovators contribute to the integration of refugees in European societies? This is the topic that will be addressed during ECRE's 2-day seminar.
What?
In collaboration with the U.S. Mission to the European Union, the Council of Europe and the European Economic and Social Committee, ECRE is organising a seminar on the topic of “Social Innovation for Refugee Inclusion”.
Integration is and will increasingly be a pressing issue on the EU and national political agendas, as more and more asylum seekers are granted a status and will require proper integration policies and practices. The seminar intends to showcase and discuss the new innovative initiatives which flourished all over Europe to respond to the specific needs of refugees and asylum seekers.
Speakers will range from refugee groups to civil society organisations, cities, tech companies, start-ups, and private sector representatives.
The draft agenda is available below.
