Descrizione del lavoro

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. Currently working in over 40 countries, the IRC aims to restore safety, dignity, and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. In response to increased refugee arrivals into Europe, the IRC established programs initially in Greece, expanded to Serbia and the wider Balkans, and now in Germany.

Following assessments in Italy in 2017, critical protection gaps were identified in areas such as mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), assistance to unaccompanied children, information provision, and legal support. To address these gaps, IRC established a presence in Italy, implementing programs including the Refugee.Info web platform, child protection for unaccompanied children and trafficking victims, socio-economic mentoring for refugee youth, WPE, and educational initiatives focusing on social-emotional learning and healing classrooms.
