RECEA is dedicated to the support and assistance of Armenian immigrants to voluntarily return to their homeland. In addition to the activities related to the return, such as
- assistance and support during
the return,
building-up the Heimatgarten Adaptation Centre Yerevan in the Armenian capital, an adaptation centre for conducting reintegration measures for children, youth
and families is at the heart of the program. The tasks of the adaptation centre
include, in addition to pedagogical and psychological
care, social counseling and language courses.
Annually several hundred Armenians return from the European Union
back to their homeland. A third of
them are children and adolescents. In their homeland the returnees are faced
with many problems. Successful
reintegration is often impaired and endangered by deficits in the native language, unawareness of social and
cultural conditions, changes in living conditions and the loss of social relationships left abroad. The
often-adjusting social exclusion can transform migration for those affected to a traumatic
experience. As a result particularly children and adolescents may suffer of mental health problems.
To mitigate the impact of these problems and to support the Armenian returnees with reintegration into their homeland, in the context of RECEA best practices of reintegration are applied.
