Atzealdea Sabadell ‘Refuge City’

The City Council of Sabadell states that it is a city committed to its citizenship, which aspires to make real dignity and quality of life for all without distinction as to ethnicity, age, gender, origin, sexual diversity, belief or functional diversity. Sabadell welcomes newcomers from the value of hospitality, who are actively involved in favour of equality between women and men and against all types of violence, who work in favour of personal autonomy and freedom, who are committed to the emancipation of young people and who, through love, respect and austerity, believe that diversity and interaction are the basis of coexistence.

The City Council works to defend the right to asylum and refugees in the following areas: international cooperation, advocacy, awareness raising, reception, observation of local Media.

The City Council organises annually an event to recognise people and organisations involved in the reception programmes. The event takes place in the Principal Theatre and those who have participated in the workshops and training under the framework of the Reception Path receive a diploma. In 2018, around 700 people participated in the event. More information can be found here and here.

The City annually launches the Alex Seglers Memorial to recognise the task of people, organisations and institutions in promoting the values of coexistence and living together based on the respect of cultural and belief diversity and the defence of human rights. More information
