Migrants
Civil protection in diverse societies:
migrants, asylum seekers and refugees in the context of major risks prevention and management
12-13 June 2014, Council of Europe, Strasbourg
EUR-OPA and Intercultural cities have joined their expertise to organise a workshop which will explore the access and participation of migrants, refugees and asylums seekers to disaster prevention, protection and response mechanisms and their contribution to making such mechanisms more adequate in relation to migrants’ needs. The workshop will bring together representatives of civil protection administrations of EUR-OPA member States and of civil protection agencies from cities members of the Intercultural cities network, as well as representatives of migrants’ organisations. The key questions to discuss are how civil protection bodies take into account the specificity of migrant populations (language, cultural and lifestyle differences) while conceiving and implementing protection and evacuation schemes; and how these populations can be encouraged to take part in this work and contribute to the development of more effective schemes, adapted to diverse societies.
