Description
Event organised by Dr. Victoria Canning, The Open University, UK.
Description: As with other countries in Europe, the context of applying for asylum in Sweden is changing rapidly. Since 2015 in particular, organisations which exist to support refugee groups have experienced significant shifts and constraints which have created challenges for this provision. This workshop aims to address some of the challenges that organisations - and the individuals within them - are facing. Overall, this day will include presentations and roundtable discussions with organisations working across the refugee sector in Malmö. Themes include: implications for funding; supporting women, children and LGBTQ+ people; supporting survivors of sexual violence and torture; organisation capacity building; and responding to legislative change. Most importantly, this workshop aims to offer scope for network building across groups supporting people seeking asylum in Sweden broadly, and the region of Skåne specifically.
