Refugee Highway Partnership

In February 2008, the RHP Europe team’s annual meeting was held in Walzenhausen, Switzerland, near the borders of Germany and Austria. This team represents 14 countries and 5 large mission organizations working in Europe among refugees. Meeting topics included European legislation and new developments within the refugee world, and best practices and new ideas and plans were shared. More specifically, we addressed Islam and we visited a local asylum seekers centre to find out how the system works in that specific country. We discussed a successor for the RHP Europe Coordinator (who is resigning in the fall of 2008). This meeting was very encouraging and fruitful! The next annual meeting will be held in February 2009 in London, England.
