Eesti Pagulasabi has been conducting various community-oriented activities since 2017.
The purpose of the community programme is to support the inclusion and integration of refugees who have arrived in Estonia into society.
Sub-goals of the community programme:
- The community programme is an effective point of contact and a bridge for entering various adaptation and integration services (both private and public services as well as Refugee Assistance services).
- Refugees who have arrived in Estonia have been integrated into local communities.
- Refugees who have arrived in Estonia have a say in decisions that affect them and protect their interests.
Community programme activities:
- Community events and group activities in cooperation with the host community (family and youth events, various workshops, hobby groups and outings)-
- Implementation of the refugee community council. The purpose of the Community Council is to empower refugees to solve their problems in a systematic and citizen-initiative manner, while improving their representation and involvement.
- Connecting refugees with available opportunities and referring them to services.
