During the 2024 Slovenian Sociological Society conference ZRC SAZU and its associates presented the challenges that “people on the move” encounter during their dangerous journey on the Balkan Route. But their journey is far from finished if they manage to reach the EU. When they ask for asylum they are met with another set of challenges and later if they are successful with their claim and get international protection status barriers like language, housing, labour market, health system, and marginalisation prevent their inclusion… All the topics the project Getcohesive is aiming to address.
Thanks to our associates from Syria and Cameron, the Slovenian sociologists got an excellent overview of the situation and also ZRC SAZU staff learned a lot.
