STUDY VISIT IN THESSALONIKI, 7-8 MAY 2017

Our first study visit of the year will take place in Thessaloniki (Greece) on 7 May 2017, followed by a conference on 8 May 2017.
 
The study visit (7 May, 14-00-19:00) is organised in collaboration with ASB-Greece and its implementing partners ARSIS and WAHA. We will have the opportunity to learn more about their activities and projects in support of refugees and asylum seekers, with a focus on services provided to women and minors.
 
The conference (8 May, 9:00-18:00) is organised in collaboration with the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) and the Global Progressive Forum (GPF).  In the framework of the conference we will organise a workshop session on first reception of women and minors.
 
Places for this study visit are limited, therefore we particularly encourage the participation of members working on service provision to migrants and asylum seekers with a focus on reception services for women and minors. More details and programmes will follow.
 
Please contact Elsa for more information.
