The Euro-Arab Foundation for Higher Studies recently participated in the REFUGIN Project Final Conference, held on May 30th in Lisbon, Portugal. The conference served as a vital platform for professionals from across Portugal and Europe to share insights, reflect on project outcomes, and explore future strategies for the inclusion and integration of individuals in refugee-like situations.
The Euro-Arab Foundation’s researcher, Rascha Albaba Acosta, delivered a presentation highlighting the critical need for ethical and human rights- compliant inclusion of refugee populations in Europe. She stressed the importance of fostering and establishing national and cross-border cooperation mechanisms to effectively address the needs of these communities.
The REFUGIN Project, an IPS-partnered initiative, promotes a dual, inclusive approach by empowering refugees as active participants in their integration journey and mobilising civil society to create supportive, welcoming environments through shared responsibility.
The conference brought together diverse stakeholders to exchange best practices and discuss lessons learned, reinforcing the collective commitment to enhancing refugee integration across the continent.
