This is the fifth consecutive year that ZusammenHelfen in Oberösterreich – Gemeinsam für geflüchtete Menschen is staging a conference for all those who are committed to and interested in helping people forced to flee, or are affected by refugees and integration.
This year’s conclave entitled “Day of Encouragement” will scrutinize new prospects, discuss the latest developments and challenges, and elaborate on successful projects. One inspiring speaker on the program is Jad Turjman, who will recount anecdotes from his life as described in his book Wenn der Jasmin auswandert. Dirk Baier, head of the Institute for Delinquency and criminal prevention of the University of Zurich and the communication project #ichbinhier will also enrich the conference.
