On Tuesday, 19 July 2022 the EU-IOM Knowledge Management Hub (KMH) carried out the webinar The FORAS approach: Enhancing Reintegration Opportunities. The event opened up a space for government representatives, partners, returnees and IOM staff to share their experiences and lessons learned from the FORAS Project.

Watch the recording in English and French. 

Implemented in two phases (between September 2017 and April 2022), the Project is part of the Regional Programme "Strengthening the Stabilization and Cohesion of Migrant Communities in Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Countries of Return" and is funded by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Its objective is to improve the socio-economic reintegration of migrants enrolled in the Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) Programme in their country of origin, through pre-departure capacity-building activities, including training and counselling sessions.

The webinar, with simultaneous interpretation in English and French, was moderated by the KMH and a dedicated Q&A session allowed for meaningful exchanges with participants.

Check out the dedicated topic in the "Reintegration" group within the Platform's Community of Practice to follow the conversation online and access further materials on FORAS!
