Pact aligned resettlement modules

Pact-aligned resettlement modules

Pact-aligned resettlement modules introduce the key concepts, legal framework, and operational practices related to resettlement within the context of the Pact on Migration and Asylum. These modules support professionals involved in resettlement activities in understanding the updated policy and operational framework and applying it in practice.
Resettlement is a safe and organised pathway through which persons in need of international protection are transferred from a non-EU country where they have sought protection to an EU Member State that agrees to admit them and grant protection.

Who this training is for

These modules are designed for professionals involved in resettlement planning, coordination, and implementation, including:
  • officials working in asylum and migration authorities
  • staff involved in resettlement operations and coordination
  • practitioners supporting reception and integration of resettled persons

What these modules cover

Through Pact-aligned resettlement modules, participants develop knowledge and skills related to:
  • the principles and objectives of resettlement programmes in the European Union
  • the legal and policy framework governing resettlement under the Pact on Migration and Asylum
