Afghans and the Network of Inclusive Interventions
The 19th edition of the Observatory on Migrations in Rome and Lazio Report will be presented on June 19 in Rome at the Protomoteca Hall of the Capitoline Museums. CISP contributed to this edition by drafting a chapter titled: The inclusion of people Afghan forces in Lazio: state of the art, critical issues and opportunities. This chapter is based on insights from the recent CISP project The land of ARII: Afghans and the Network of Inclusive Interventions, which sparked a vibrant discussion among experts, practitioners, service managers, representatives from over 30 local authorities, and the Afghan community in the area.
In this chapter, we engaged in a participatory reflection process, addressing significant challenges and lessons learned. We discussed specific cases, problems, and potential solutions related to the inclusion of Afghan people in the Lazio region. This collaborative effort resulted in a published document available to all local stakeholders (in Italian) and summarized in the Observatory's latest report.
“Ensuring the right to humanitarian protection in crisis situations and protecting vulnerable groups and individuals to achieve equal opportunities for all people” is a cornerstone of our mission. Our recent activities in Rome and Lazio, focusing on Afghan refugees who fled the political-military crisis of August 2021, align with this mission. Our work aims to foster a more inclusive and diverse society. This is a commitment we uphold every day in over 30 countries worldwide.
In Italy, through projects like The Land of ARII, we provide services such as Italian language courses, vocational training, job search assistance, and psychological, legal, and health support to over 90 individuals.
Working with Afghans, we recognized the importance of raising awareness among these refugees about available services and local regulations, so they can understand how to follow the rules and assert their rights. To this end, we created the website infomigranti.org, which offers valuable information on employment, health, education, and legal documentation.
We prioritize collaboration with institutions and private social organizations, believing that staying informed, avoiding redundancy, and working together enhances our effectiveness in meeting individual needs. This approach has proven successful in various countries, including Mali and Ecuador.
Migrations have always been an enduring aspect of human history, yet they are frequently misconstrued as a recent emergency. They present both risks and opportunities for communities of origin and destination, with particular significance for individuals relocating within their own country, to neighbouring nations, or across continents, especially when they lack safe legal channels. Our dedication lies in navigating the often-fluctuating space between the perils and risks of exclusion and the prospects for fostering inclusive paths towards autonomy for migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees
In Europe, we focus on global citizenship education to address the challenges of migration. Through projects like GET – It's Global Education Time, we integrate global education into school programs and youth activities, fostering a global perspective both inside and outside the classroom.
