After the refugee crisis emerged in Europe, Germany was one of the countries that accepted a significant number of refugees. They, however, have been facing many difficulties while trying to respond to the crisis and build an efficient system that will take the needs of the most vulnerable groups into consideration.

This webinar is about the system Germany has developed to deal with the crisis, with a special focus on the legal system and the practical challenges that emerge in this process. 

Mr. Bahr will focus on the legal information about the proceedings from the first application to the decision on the request and the legal protection availableto the refugees.

Ms. Potthast will talk about the accommodations for refugees in Berlin and Brandenburg, frequently addressed topics by the people in these accommodations, as well as working and education possibilities, including their practical implementations. In the end, she will provide a short overview on the situation of unaccompanied minors in Berlin.
