URI MEETS IN MOROCCO

URI-MENA meets in

Rebate, Morocco June 22-26

The annual URI-MENA regional assembly opened in Rebate, Morocco on June 22, bringing together 50 delegates from around the Middle East and Europe to talk about the role of interfaith cooperation in immigrants’ integration. The conference addresses an issue that has considerable cross-over between the two regions, focusing on the challenges faced by migrants both within the Middle East and Europe and from the Middle East to Europe. It is being put on in partnership with ATNL MOROCCO/Comité Pilotage de Réseau Marocain, in cooperation with URI Europe, Iris Women CC of Jordan, Tineret Buzau 2007 -Romania, and leading NGOs specialized in migrants and minorities issues in Europe and the MENA region. It was co-funded by the Anna Lindh Foundation. Also present at the conference are several 2011 URI Youth Ambassadors, who attended a URI youth leadership training, also in Rebate, on June 21-22nd.
