Seeking Refuge in Greece: Local and EU Responses, Taking Stock and Looking Ahead

On June 2, PRIO invited a panel of speakers to discuss local and EU responses to migrants seeking refuge in Greece. Has the EU, however, stepped up its reaction to the overall needs of people seeking international protection, often stuck in limbo in different areas along the external borders, whether in Greece, Italy, or Northern France? How are these responses (or non-responses) seen from the local perspective in Greece seven years after the start of the increased arrivals in 2015? Furthermore, against the background of people fleeing the war in Ukraine, and ongoing discussions about how different categories of migrants are received at EU borders, what can we learn from ongoing rapid responses and mobilization, and what are the lessons that can be learned from the Greek experience?

Speakers

  • Welcome and introduction by Marta Bivand Erdal, Research Professor, Migration Studies at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO)
  • Presentation by Manos Logothetis, Secretary General of Reception and Asylum, Greece
  • Presentation by Maria Gabrielsen Jumbert, Senior Researcher and Research Director, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO)

Panel discussion with Manos Logothetis, Maria Gabrielsen Jumbert, Trude Jacobsen, Secretary General, Dråpen i Havet, and Anna Ratecka, Research Fellow and Doctoral Candidate, Institute of Sociology, Jagiellonian University of Krakow.
