CCS V COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE Residency Format With an artist-in-residence program, "No One's Land" asks about the possibilities and forms of sustainable global cooperation on an equal footing. How can the exchange of actors in the so-called global south be promoted? And how can local contexts be strengthened internationally? For eight days (February 6th – 13th), the residents in Frankfurt will come together as a “community of practice” to try out how international networks, existing and new alliances can be designed based on a variety of different conditions and structures. Each alliance house has nominated an artistic position for the residency program.With Carlos Martínez, Idylla Silmarovi, Grzegorz Laszuk, Larry Macaulay, Mira Todorova, Andrei Zavalei, Venuri Perera.

What defines socioculture today? And how should it develop? It's time for a redefinition, we thought when we started the idea of remeasuring our work in 2019. We asked ourselves and others what values and principles we can agree on, what socioculture means in the 21st century. We would now like to continue on this path with an explorative and creative future congress: the assembly of wishes. workshop: Perform it until you make it Language: English & German This workshop introduces the working methods of Migrantpolitan: It is about the fine art of self-assertion and the appreciation of the always systemically forced creativity of migrants. These elements form the basis for the empowering art concept of Migrantpolitan: Perform it, till you make it. Using various examples from the practice of migrant politics (online soaps, fashion labels, legal counsel, art school, Solicasino, etc.), Nadine Jessen and Larry Macaulay invite you to reflect on the power and impotence of art.

Track 4: “Combatting hate speech against refugees and migrants through interreligious and intercultural dialogue” Supporting active participation of refugees and migrants may be a less effective at creating inclusive and cohesive societies as long as intolerance, hate speech, negative stereotypes and prejudices towards newcomers prevail in public discourse. The main focus of this track will be the efforts to counter rising levels of hate speech through interreligious and intercultural dialogue, in order to strengthen social cohesion in Europe. The specific focus of the track is on the field of education and on how governments can guide the educational space to counter hate speech by using dialogue as a tool. World Café

The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe have adopted an Action Plan on Protecting Vulnerable Persons in the Context of Migration and Asylum in Europe (2021-2025). “Migrants and asylum seekers face particular challenges, in the Covid-19 pandemic, notably access to healthcare and vaccinations. We are increasing cooperation among member states to protect the most vulnerable persons”, said Council of Europe Secretary General Marija Pejcinovic Buric. The action plan aims at addressing main challenges and opportunities identified since the previous Action Plan, focusing on children, completed in 2019. The lessons learned, along with discussions with member states and within the Council of Europe, revealed the need for further action and co-ordination in a wider scope. The European Court of Human Rights as well as Council of Europe steering committees and monitoring bodies have emphasised the special protection that states need to provide to vulnerable persons in the context of asylum and migration. In the new action plan, “vulnerable persons in the context of migration and asylum” are persons found to have special needs after individual evaluation of their situation and are entitled to call on states’ obligation to provide special protection and assistance. “This action plan proposes a targeted assistance package for the Council of Europe member states to enhance their capacity to identify and address vulnerabilities throughout the asylum and migration procedures linked to adequate reception conditions, access to information, legal aid and to justice. It also promotes the support for child refugees in their access to education and young refugees in their transition to adulthood,” said the Special Representative of the Secretary General on Migration and Refugees, Ambassador Drahoslav Štefánek.

Yesterday, the Commission adopted the first EU Strategy on voluntary return and reintegration. The Strategy promotes voluntary return and reintegration as an integral part of a common EU system for returns, a key objective under the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. It sets out practical measures to strengthen the legal and operational framework for voluntary returns from Europe and from transit countries, improve the quality of return and reintegration programmes, establish better links with development initiatives and strengthen cooperation with partner countries. Vice-President for Promoting our European Way of Life, Margaritis Schinas, said: “The EU is building a new ecosystem on returns – looking at increasing cooperation on readmission, improving the governance framework, equipping Frontex with a new operational mandate on returns and appointing an EU Return Coordinator. Today's Strategy on voluntary returns and reintegration is another piece of that puzzle. Returns are more effective when they are voluntary and accompanied by genuine reintegration options for returnees and this Strategy will develop a more uniform and coordinated approach among Member States to unlock their full potential.” Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ylva Johansson, said: “Only about a third of people with no right to stay in the EU return to their country of origin and of those who do, fewer than 30% do so voluntarily. Voluntary returns are always the better option: they put the individual at the core, they are more effective and less costly Our first ever strategy on voluntary return and reintegration will help returnees from both the EU and third countries to seize opportunities in their home country, contribute to the development of the community and build trust in our migration system to make it more effective.” An effective legal and operational framework Gaps between asylum and return procedures, challenges in preventing absconding, insufficient resources, lack of data, overall fragmentation and limited administrative capacity to follow-up on return decisions all contribute to the low uptake in assisted voluntary returns programmes. Through the proposed recast Return Directive, the amended proposal for an Asylum Procedures Regulation, the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation and the revised Eurodac Regulation, the Commission will continue to put in place fast and fair common procedures and rules on asylum and return, monitor the granting of return and reintegration assistance and reduce the risk of unauthorised movements. Through its enhanced mandate, Frontex can support Member States in all stages of the voluntary return and reintegration process, including on pre-return counselling, post-arrival support and monitoring the effectiveness of reintegration assistance. The Return Coordinator and High Level Network for Return will provide further technical support to Member States in bringing together different strands of EU return policy. Improved quality of assisted voluntary return programmes Providing early, tailor-made and effective return counselling taking into account individual circumstances, the needs of children and vulnerable groups, as well as support after return, improves their chances of successful and sustainable reintegration into their home communities. The Commission will work with Frontex to develop a common curriculum for return counsellors complementing existing support from the Agency and making better use of web-based tools such as the Return and Reintegration Assistance Inventory and the Reintegration Assistance Tool. The Commission, in cooperation with Member States, Frontex and the European Return and Reintegration Network, will also develop a quality framework for reintegration service providers based on common standards for managing projects, supported by EU funding. Strengthening cooperation with partner countries Cooperation on voluntary return and reintegration is a key aspect of migration partnerships that the EU will strengthen under the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. The EU will support the ownership of reintegration processes in partner countries with capacity building, providing staff with the necessary skills, or supporting governance structures to cater to the specific economic, social and psychosocial needs of returnees. The EU will also continue to provide assistance for voluntary return and reintegration of migrants stranded in other countries, including through exploring new partnerships. Finally, the EU will strengthen links between reintegration programmes and other relevant development initiatives in partner countries. The Commission will ensure a more coordinated use of the financial resources that will be available under different EU funds to support the entirety of the voluntary return and reintegration process.
