Workshop: Voluntary return to Russian Federation
Transnational Exchange VI project organised its 4th Workshop in Augsburg on 5. – 7. of November 2024. The topic, “Voluntary return to Russian Federation”, was addressed from historical, financial, political and social perspective. Inna Airapetian, a reintegration partner operating from Armenia, offered invaluable insight into reintegration challenges and realities in Russian Federation, especially in Chechnya. 29 participants from six different countries worked on the topics further in working groups.

Field trip to Finland
Transnational Exchange VI project took six European return counsellors to Finland to experience the Finnish AVRR system. The trip took place from 27th of August until the 30th of August 2024. The group met with all the relevant AVRR actors in Finland, for example The Finnish Immigration Service, responsible for the AVRR program in Finland. Other actors in the field of AVRR are the Finnish Police, IOM Finland, Finnish Refugee Council and reception centers, where information and guidance on voluntary return is given in an early phase. The Transnational Exchange VI group also visited the Transit Center of the Helsinki Reception Center, which serves as a focal point for voluntary returns from all over Finland.
