    The conference on “From emergency reception to integration at local level, best practices in the Nordic and Baltic countries” will take place in the Estonian National Museum, Tartu, from 11–16 on 27 May. The conference will be in English and can be attended on-site or virtually. Registration for the conference.

    The conference will take place in the framework of the FOR-IN project of the Nordic and Baltic countries for 2022–2023. The objective of the project is to support the local integration of refugees and migrants through country-specific cross-sectoral cooperation models and the creation of a network of professionals in the North-Baltic region.

    There are currently more than 280 million refugees in the world, comprising around 3.6% of the world’s population. According to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), more than eight million people have fled their homes in Ukraine as of May 2022 due to the war initiated by Russia.

    Speakers from Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden and Finland will gather in Tartu on 27 May to share their home organisations’ practical knowledge and experiences of integrating refugees. The conference will be opened by Mayor of Tartu Urmas Klaas, Estonian Minister of Culture Tiit Terik and Director of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office in Estonia Christer Haglund. Professor Tiit Tammaru from the University of Tartu and Professor Christopher Jamil de Montgomery from the University of Copenhagen will speak. The speeches will be followed by discussions, the results of which will be summarised by Piret Hartman, Undersecretary for Cultural Diversity at the Estonian Ministry of Culture. The conference will be moderated by Karolis Zibas, Integration Officer in the Nordic and Baltic countries for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

    The conference is organised by the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office in Estonia in cooperation with the Estonian Ministry of Culture, the University of Tartu, the Tartu Welcome Centre, the City of Tartu, the Embassy of Sweden in Estonia and the UNHCR offices in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

    The objective of the joint Nordic-Baltic project FOR-IN 2022-2023 (Fostering refugee and immigrant integration at the local level by creating country-specific intersectional cooperation models and regional networks of practitioners) aims to support the local integration of refugees and immigrants by creating country-specific intersectional cooperation models and regional networks of practitioners in the Nordic-Baltic region. 

    The project has been prepared and launched by the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Offices in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education and Research and many other partners.
