Empowering reintegration: building stronger support for migrants

By leveraging the expertise of the European Reintegration Support Organisations (ERSO), the project focuses on:

• Developing a systematic referral mechanism to connect CSOs with government authorities overseeing return processes.
• Facilitating knowledge exchange and mutual learning through discussions on best practices, challenges, and lessons learned across EU Member States and partner countries.

Through these efforts, SRC empowers CSOs to deliver impactful reintegration support for migrants and fosters stronger collaboration between stakeholders.

Explore upcoming opportunities to engage with experts, exchange knowledge, and visit key sites that showcase impactful practices in return and reintegration counselling. Stay informed and be part of the conversation!
