BIRN Kosovo Holds Workshop on Reintegrating Returnees from War Zones

Posted on

BIRN Kosovo held a regional workshop on November 25 in the Gjakova area on reinforcing the role of Centres for Social Welfare, Municipal Directorates of Education, of Emergency and Security, of Health and of Mental Health – and other relevant institutions – in strengthening the reintegration and resocialization of returnees from Middle Eastern conflict zones.

The workshop, delivered by Labinot Leposhtica, legal officer at KALLXO.com, focused on the state’s vision for preventing radicalism and the violent extremism that leads to terrorism, as well as reflecting this vision to the public.

Eleven representatives from the aforementioned institutions participated in the workshop, three of whom were women.

This workshop was the fifth held by BIRN Kosovo as part of the “Resilient Community Program”, which is funded by the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund, GCERF.
