Between 2019 and 2022, Menedék Association participated in an international research and strategic project called RAISD. As a key result, we created an educational material for social workers based on interviews and case studies with refugees and professionals of the field.
The publication “Vulnerable refugees - Training exercises based on true stories” is a practical handbook with refugee “profiles” and training exercises linked to them. The exercises will also show you in which situations you could use them and what results you can expect. In our publication, we present detailed “profiles” of refugees, based on anonymised summaries of real-life stories and life situations, and vulnerability contexts.
Do you teach human rights courses in secondary schools? Do you teach social work at university? Are there an increasing number of refugees in your environment? Have you been asked to provide training on the practice of psychosocial support? Do you want to demonstrate the situation of a refugee family in an interactive exercise? Are you looking to renew your sociodrama sessions? Do you want your awareness-raising events to give refugees a credible voice? Then this publication is for you too!
But you can also read it if you are interested in the fates of the most vulnerable refugees and their life context. As well as being practical, it can also be useful if you are a trainer, teacher or professional developer who likes to use (or would like to try) interactive, situational games in your topics for real-life-based learning/training.
It is also for you if you are not working in the field of asylum, but you think it is important to include this issue in your training agenda, or if you want to impart knowledge in a specific field to professionals working with refugees.
You can download the publication and its printable worksheets from Menedék’s website https://tudastar.menedek.hu/hirek/raisd-handbook .
