IOM Belgium and Luxembourg, together with our implementing partners are organising the Closing Conference that will mark the completion of the activities developed and implemented throughout the U-CARE "Unaccompanied Children in Alternative residence" project (2021-2022).

Join us to know more about how alternative care for unaccompanied migrant children (UMC) can be improved on local, national and regional level. 

Through an overview of U-CARE's lessons learned, testimonies and an exchange of best practices, you will get a more detailed view on the role of family-based care, culture-sensitive capacity building and recruitment as well as alternative care systems, such as self-advocacy support groups, holistic housing models and mentorship in strengthening the protection of UMC.

The detailed agenda and concept note can be found in the attachments below.
