We aim to share good practices and tools on refugees and migrants integration processes, and to compare the approach to refugee integration in Armenia to the one used in other european countries
Civil society organizations can play an important role as a response to the crisis and radicalization that has become its consequence. There are examples when NGO's and active citizens have gone beyond their capacities in order to ll the gap left by national and regional authorities and have proven they have the will and the need to be heard. This positive cases must be multiplied and the role of civil society has to be expanded. Thus, creating network of organizations working or willing to work in the eld of migration and deradicalization is essential. It is also very important to build the capacities of sta
members, social workers, youth workers and human right activists in the eld so they can provide adequate support to young people with refugee and migrant background as well as to young people aected by "migrantaphobia" and violent extremism.
To achieve our objectives, we visited around 10 NGOs and organizations in Yerevan researching their aproaches and sharing testimonies and experiences.
