This instalment of the series considered the challenges around longer-term support, services and social cohesion. The event explored how cities can support refugees in the long term and maintain social cohesion as they begin to settle into their new lives.

This session looked at the long-term integration process and provide examples of inclusive environments and cultures that have welcomed refugees as new residents and citizens.
