On the occasion of the World Refugee Day, the Intercultural Cities Programme and the UNCHR invite practitioners to a webinar on Creating Inclusive cities: everyone can make a difference. The webinar will highlight the key role of local authorities in welcoming and integrating refugees in inclusive societies .

More than 61 per cent of the world’s refugees and 80 per cent of internally displaced people live in urban areas. The role of towns, cities, counties and provinces in creating inclusive communities and promoting hope has never been as important. They offer safety and shelter and can enable access to local services, education and job opportunities.

The Global Compact on Refugees aims to implement a more holistic approach in responding to refugee displacement and recognizes the important role that local authorities play as first responders to large-scale refugee situations.
