Refugees: vulnerability, resilience and inclusion in a democratic society, in the context of socio-economic crisis
Description

Refugees are one of the most striking examples of communities deeply traumatized by persecution anchored in human rights abuses. The possibility of asylum in Portugal, as in Europe, is deeply dependent on the narrative of the experience of trauma experienced in the past. However, little is known about the way themselves, already in the host society perspective themselves in the present and in the future. One of the societal challenges "Horizon 2020" is to "build inclusive, resilient and secure societies". In this context, and given the need for good integration of refugees into Portuguese society (which is to them a political, social and moral commitment) we intend to do research about the following issues: What are the political, bureaucratic and even emotional strategies employed by technicians in the institutions responsible for the integration of refugees? b) What are the strategies of resilience faced by asylum seekers in order to a healthy integration currently in the host societies.
