Everyday hundreds of thousands of people lose touch with their relatives as a consequence of armed conflicts, migration, natural disasters or other emergency situations.
The principle objective of the “RFL in emergencies and even beyond” workshop is to familiarize the participants with the different pillars of Restoring Family Links (RFL) response: prevention; re-establishment of contact; humanitarian/family tracing; dead & missing throughout the different stages of emergency response (from preparedness to recovery) and even beyond. In that framework, context specific simulation and interaction will be used to reveal issues of concern and psychosicial challenges involved, such as coping with ambitious loss, the right and the need to know, vulnerable groups, family reunification, information sharing, accompaniment, etc., focusing however, on lessons learned and best practices to better serve beneficiaries, support practitioners and advance the overall resilience of communities.
