In the framework of the COMET project, Fons Català de Cooperació al Desenvolupament organizes five online training sessions dedicated to the design and implementation of safe routes for people in need of international protection with a municipalist perspective.
The aim of the sessions is to raise awareness of the importance of guaranteeing the right to international protection and to promote the active involvement of city councils and other local agents in the creation of this type of project. In addition, the aim is to create a space for the exchange of good practices and collective reflection on shared challenges and opportunities, while promoting opportunities for training and improving processes and resources, encouraging collaboration between various levels governments, NGOs, civil society, the private sector and communities with lived experience of forced displacement.
The second session will take place on 12/11/2024, from 10:00 to 11:30 CET, dedicated to the importance of the gender perspective and feminism in local reception and inclusion processes. In this session, La CIBA, Resource Center for Women, Innovation and Feminist Economy of the City Council of Santa Coloma de Gramenet will share how the need for international protection is addressed from one of the pioneering municipal initiatives in policy making for real and effective equality for all women and the recommendations tool for a reception system with a feminist and intersectional perspective developed by Almena Cooperativa Feminista will be shared.
