ACCESS THE RECORDINGS HERE

This webinar centred on examining the most recent research findings and perspectives regarding the reintegration of returnees, and was attended with close to 200 single participants joining across regions and institutions.

Representatives from the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), the Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies (bicc), and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) presented their research and offered corroborating evidence, facilitating a discussion on effective strategies for reintegration and its challenges.

The discussion delved into empirically collected reintegration experiences, by exploring the multifaceted factors that influence this process. These factors include macro-level conditions such as political stability and safety, economic considerations, psychosocial aspects and socio-demographic characteristics.

Moreover, the webinar, included a dedicated Q&A session. The questions that remained unaddressed are now included in the MPP's Community of Practice, here.
