Study Visit in Trieste

In February, within the framework of the BRAT project, 9 operators working in the Transit and Reception facilities in Bihac, Sarajevo and Tuzla participated in a Study Visit to the Italian city of Trieste. The participants had the opportunity to visit key structures of the reception system in the city, such as the San Martino al Campo Daily Center, the Caritas-run Dormitory and Casa Malala ICS.

Thanks to the support of Fondazione Caritas Trieste, the team was able to exchange valuable information and discuss practices about community-based service for People on the Move with the local staff.

Finally, the team had an extremely motivating meeting with the NGO IRC (International Rescue Committee). The Street Units of IRC are active in Trieste’s Piazza della Libertà, as well as in the “Silos”, symbolic gathering places for migrants in transit along the Balkan Route.
