As part of the EU-CoE Joint Programme South II, four representatives of Jordanian members of the Intercultural cities network participated in the “Social innovation for refugee inclusion” seminar, organised in Brussels on 12-13 September 2016, by the European Council of Refugees and Exiles (ECRE) jointly with the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), the Council of Europe and its network of Intercultural cities.
Through a series of workshops animated by speakers from civil society organisations, refugee groups, cities and private sector representatives, participants were brought to explore and discuss innovative measures and alliances which scale up successful social innovation programmes for refugee integration and inclusion. The added value of technology in facilitating refugee integration was discussed alongside topics covering structural solutions such as political change, housing and higher education needs of refugees.
