Refugee experiences: identity, integration and energy access
🌍Join us on the 9th of June at Playground (Utrecht Science Park) for 2 engaging lectures, 1 shared workshop and a conversation worth having on refugees integration, mental wellbeing and energy poverty.🗣️
🌿After the talks, participants will join an interactive discussion to reflect on the topics and connect research with real-world experiences.
🔆 Professor Elena Fumagalli presents a field-based project on sustainable energy access in refugee settlements and host communities in Sub-Saharan Africa, addressing both data gaps and the long-term development needs of displaced populations.
🤝 Professor Borjia Martinovic will discuss the social and psychological side of refugee integration in the Netherlands, exploring how discrimination, identity, and social connections influence refugees’ sense of belonging and their wish to return home.
