Promoting the Well-Being of Migrants & Displaced Persons Toolkit
Why this toolkit?
“Refugees are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children, with the same hopes and ambitions as us:
– except that a twist of fate has bound their lives to a global refugee crisis on an unprecedented scale.” Khaled Hosseini: Commeet supports community empowerment, which enables local groups to take action without waiting for governments or municipalities. The SDGs commit us to make our cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable (SDG 11)
Solution For All Communities
What is the purpose?
The overarching theme is to develop positive relationships between community members and newcomers. This toolkit is intended to support you in starting up your efforts to help newcomers in your society. It does not provide ultimate solutions for all challenges. It is designed to help you to get going. As soon as you have achieved your first successes with the settlement of migrants, you will doubtless feel a great sense of achievement, but also have questions regarding next steps.
By providing you with ideas about starting points and possible first steps, this toolkit aims to help you to:
- Establish an effective community empowerment group
- Raise community awareness about the inclusion of migrants
- Organise your initiative in a way that ensures maximum success
The SDGs cannot be achieved by governments alone, nor by top-down directives. To achieve a sustainable and just transition, we need local energy, local creativity and local action. Commeet believes that local communities have the expertise, knowledge of the local area and understanding of what can work. The toolkit is directed at members of local communities who wish to develop a culture of inclusion for displaced persons and migrants generally. This will have huge benefits for the future wellbeing of your whole community. Migrants want to contribute and participate, and you can help make this happen.
COMMEET
What is in the toolkit?
This 72-page toolkit will help you start developing a culture of cooperation and co-learning as well promoting a supportive and inclusive community in your neighbourhood. It is not a linear template but the start of a process which suggests ideas for action. The toolkit provides guidelines for community members to help settlement and provide a welcome. As such, it provides an overview of some of the challenges which new arrivals may face and sets out activities and tools to help them find their way. For the purposes of the toolkit, ‘you’ means the community members and anyone with an interest in helping. ‘You’ is a powerful term, it connects us to humanity, and it helps us remember that the power of creating change is within us. The inspirational stories and case studies are there to give you an idea of several successful responses in different geographical areas. There is plenty of encouragement to be creative, while involving your local community and ensuring that all voices are heard.
