Let’s make it home' – 7-day seminar on inclusion of IDPs and refugees in the hosting communities. Europe is currently facing consequences of the armed conflicts that take place all over the world. The conflicts force people to leave their homes. Indeed, one of the consequences and severity of a conflict (in addition to casualties and suffering) is the extent to which people were displaced from their communities. Most of people displaced due to the conflicts remain within their national borders. They are called internally displaced persons (IDPs). Those who manage to cross an international border are defined by international law as refugees.The aim of the project 'Let’s make it home' – a seminar on inclusion of IDPs and refugees in the hosting communities is to empower youth and NGO workers with tools and practices in their work on inclusion and humanitarian support of IDPs and refugees. The main objectives were: - to share best practices between the NGOs and youth workers for the work with IDPs and refugees in hosting communities; - to point out possible issues which could arise in the local communities experiencing the growing amount of IDPs and refugees and elaborate possible measures to deal with them; - to compare the legal instruments existing in the countries of the participants concerning the status and support of the IDPs and refugees; - to develop suggestions for local authorities for the possible measures to prevent possible conflicts in local communities; - to develop follow-up initiatives for the support of IDPs and refugees in the communities of participants. The seminar involved 36 youth and NGO representatives working with IDPs and refugees in their communities from 12 countries (Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, UK, Ukraine, Turkey).
