DROI COMMITTEE MEASURES CONCERNING REFUGEES INTEGRATION

By A. Lianou

The second day of Droi’s Committee Session was covered by the discussion of the proposals made by each country’s representative about pressing issues such as refugees’ integration. They indicated that psychological and medical assistance should be a European not a national priority while private organizations can provide a lot of help on the accommodation field. Moreover they suggested that linguistic lessons should be offered to the refugees and also that those refugees who were teachers can be the bridge linking the culture of their homeland and the new country. Plus, they stated that campaigns of information and sensitization should be organized for the locals in order to welcome refugees and facilitate the integration process and also eliminate incidents of xenophobia and racism. Additionally, reformations should be implemented for the facilitation of job placement by the refugees. Lastly they discussed asylum’s donation requirements and the need to fasten these procedures.
