Latvian Red Cross, in collaboration with the UN Refugee Agency`s Regional Representation for Northern Europe (UNHCR), organized trainings in five different regions across Latvia from  September  23 to 27 with the theme “Work for the integration of refugees and immigrants: intercultural interaction, good practice and experience.”

The trainings which are part of the international Red Cross project “AVAIL- Amplifying the Voices of Asylum Seekers and Refugees for Integration and Life Skills.” was put together to build capacity and expertise of more than one hundred service providers, public authorities and representatives of local communities.  The regions that benefited from the training include Rezekne, Puikule, Bauska, Saldus and Riga.

The representatives from UNHCR, Marcel Colun and Karolis Zibas, presented general information about the current situation related to issues of asylum, migration and relocation, the effect of legislative changes on results of the integration of refugees and immigrants, as well as overall integration policy and processes at the regional and national level.
