The third issue of the Linking-In Newsletter covers the EU Resettlement Skills Share Day that took place in Brussels on 14 and 15 May, as well as the Look and Learn Visit that took place in Denmark on 11 to 14 June, as well as other project activities.

The EU Resettlement Skills Share Day marked a key moment in the development of the EU Resettlement Network, the development of which is one of the main aims of the second joint IOM, ICMC and UNHCR project “Linking-In EU Resettlement”. The Skills Share Day brought together some 200 policy makers and practitioners in refugee resettlement from 26 countries, including the EU Commissioner and the Director General for Home Affairs, representatives from European governments, international organizations, regions, cities, municipalities and NGOs, as well as representatives from Australia, Japan, Thailand and the US.

The Look and Learn visit was organised by ICMC Europe together with the Danish Immigration Service, Danish Refugee Council and the municipalities of Faxe and Faaborg for participants from new and emerging resettlement countries.
