União de Refugiados em Portugal (UREP) is pleased to announce an upcoming international study visit, welcoming delegates from World Peace Volunteers to Portugal in April 2026. This initiative reflects our continued commitment to promoting global cooperation, sharing knowledge, and strengthening community-based approaches to migration management.
Why This Study Visit Matters
Around the world, countries continue to face complex challenges related to irregular migration, refugee reception, and integration. Effective responses depend not only on national systems but also on collaboration between civil society organizations, frontline workers, and community coalitions.
By hosting this study visit, UREP aims to contribute to a global exchange of experience and good practices. The visit is designed to provide direct exposure to Portugal’s frameworks for:
refugee and migrant reception,
social and community integration,
irregular migration management, and
grassroots support mechanisms.
The program serves as an opportunity for mutual learning, capacity-building, and strengthening ties between organizations working toward shared humanitarian goals.
Who Is Participating?
Their visit to Portugal marks a new step in technical cooperation between our organizations, paving the way for future partnerships and joint initiatives.
What the Program Includes
Over the course of 10 working days, the delegation will participate in an intensive learning program coordinated by UREP. Activities will include:
meetings with UREP’s leadership and project teams
thematic workshops on refugee rights, community integration, and migration governance
field visits to partner institutions
exposure to local reception structures
dedicated sessions addressing practical challenges and innovative solutions
Core activities will take place from Monday to Friday, with weekends free. Including arrival and departure days, the total duration of the visit will be 15 days, scheduled for April 2026.
A Step Toward Stronger International Partnerships
UREP looks forward to welcoming the World Peace Volunteers to Portugal and to engaging in an enriching exchange that contributes to greater protection, dignity, and opportunity for migrants and refugees worldwide.
