War and persecution has forced millions of individuals and families to flee from their homelands, leaving behind everything in search of safety. In addition to the unimaginable trauma and violence, refugees are farther confronted with the uncertainty of an unknown future.On the other hand, misrepresentation, misinformed stereotypes of migrants and refugees, exacerbated by mainstream media and lack of knowledge and appropriate education about these groups and their circumstances give rise to social tensions in host communities.ReConnect (Refugee•Connect) aims to bridge the critical knowledge gap between refugees and their host communities by providing an app-based, peer learning platform that connects a local with a newcomer prior to their arrival in the country of relocation/resettlement in Europe.ReConnect addresses the lack of pre-departure education and information of both communities whilst also enabling refugees to create and develop genuine networks within countries of relocation. ReConnect aims to help reduce social stigmas and negative stereotypes associated with refugees and promote better understanding of global forced migration and its challenges.
