AB  -  Portugal joined the European movement to welcome refugees in 2015, and there was an
unprecedented phenomenon of civil society mobilization to provide shelter to refugees, overlapping at times
the State. The model adopted for hosting refugees was related to the involvement of civil society, which
meant that the relocation program assumed two structuring characteristics: the geographical dispersion of
refugees throughout the country and the institutional diversity of the structures that carried out their
placement. To know the practices developed by the host institutions and the circumstances of the interaction
between their staff and refugees allows us to understand the role of local agency aimed at the reception of
refugees and its impacts. Attitudes and feelings of disillusionment and disappointment can clash with the
expectations of welcoming initiatives, which are often based on a constructed image of refugees as grateful,
innocent victims and deserving of help. The aim of this article focuses on the practices and perceptions of
representatives of local institutions regarding their relocation experiences. Thus, results obtained on the
relocation process from the point of view of the institutions and on opportunities and challenges faced for
the integration of refugees relocated in Portugal, as well as feelings, expectations and disappointments, are
presented
