RAISD final conference in Palermo, Italy
Our project coordinator, Dr Tobias Schnitzler, participated as external stakeholder at the international conference which was held from May 17-18th, 2022, in Palermo, Italy.
It was organised under the H2020 project RAISD addresses the need for effective strategies for the attention and inclusion of distinctively Vulnerable Groups among Forcibly Displaced People.
Forced displacement crises overcome societies and institutions all over the world. Pushed by the urgencies rather than events, solutions are frequently reactive, partial, and disregard some groups. The project ‘Reshaping Attention and Inclusion Strategies for Distinctively vulnerable people among the forcibly displaced’ (RAISD) aims at identifying highly Vulnerable Groups (VG) among these forcibly displaced people, analysing their specific needs, and finding suitable practices to address them. The concept of ‘vulnerability context’ considers the interplay between the features of these persons and their hosting communities, their interactions and experiences, and how different solutions for attention and inclusion affect them. As a result of this project, a methodology to carry out these studies was developed. They pursue characterizing these migrations and developing suitable aid strategies for them.
