Location: Hotel Barcelona / Room Belém

Description:

• [EN] Getting Started in a New Country: Developing Policies and Practices to Promote the Integration and Employment of Refugees and Migrants: Strengthening the Evidence Base: There are contradictory trends in migration to Europe today. A small proportion of these immigrants are refugees, and the integration and social inclusion of these refugees are a challenge. This workshop will discuss early work-focused introduction strategies as well as language training, considered to be a better way to “rebuild” lives. Integration of refugees can also be improved through the interaction of government programmes, NGO programmes and enterprises, and this will be examined.

• [FR] Nouveau départ dans un pays d’accueil : Élaboration des politiques et des pratiques visant à promouvoir l’intégration et l’emploi des réfugiés et des immigrants – Renforcer nos acquis: Les migrations dans l’Europe contemporaine présentent des tendances contradictoires. En effet, parmi les immigrants, les réfugiés représentent un faible taux dont l’intégration et l’inclusion sociales se posent en défi. Dans cet atelier, nous aborderons les stratégies visant essentiellement à l’insertion rapide au monde du travail; nous examinerons également l’apprentissage de la langue que l’on considère comme le meilleur moyen pour eux de reconstruire leur vie. L’intégration des réfugiés peut également être facilitée par les entreprises, ainsi que l’action conjointe des programmes mis en place par les gouvernements et les ONG; nous examinerons tous ces éléments.

• [PT] Começar de novo num novo país: o desenvolvimento de políticas e práticas com vista à promoção da integração e do emprego de refugiados e imigrantes : reforçar a base de conhecimentos: Os movimentos migratórios na Europa contemporânea caracterizam-se por diversas contradições. Uma pequena parte destes imigrantes são refugiados, cuja integração e inclusão sociais constitui um desafio. Este workshop incidirá sobre as estratégias que visam a inserção rápida no mundo do trabalho e o ensino da língua, consideradas as melhores formas destes imigrantes reconstruírem as suas vidas. A integração dos refugiados pode também ser facilitada pela interacção entre programas governamentais, ONGs e empresas - aspectos que serão também analisados neste workshop.
