Final MINTE Event Explores Ukrainian Refugee Integration and Tech in Exile

Final MINTE event in Brussels explores the integration of refugees from Ukraine and the use of technologies in exile in Central and Eastern Europe

This final conference of the Migrant Integration Through Education (MINTE) project – The Integration of Forced Migrants from Ukraine in Central and Eastern Europe: The Use of Technologies in Exile and Key Lessons Learned – will present the project’s findings and recommendation in Brussels. The event will bring together policy makers, practitioners and members of the Ukrainian diaspora, inviting them all to engage with the project’s findings from a larger EU perspective. The event is organised under the patronage of the Polish Presidency of the EU Council.

All those interested are invited to join the event in person on 27 May 2025, Tuesday, 9:00 – 12:30 CEST, at Mundo Madou, Avenue des Arts 7/8, 1210 Brussels.

Through presentations and a panel discussion, the event will explore:

• the evolution of integration policies related to Ukrainian temporary protection holders in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)
• issues of response coordination to their reception and integration
• digital and ICT solutions offered to Ukrainian temporary protection holders

In addition to singling out good initiatives which could be replicated in other countries or in similar crises, the event will also consider the need to move beyond temporary protection and towards more permanent solutions in order to ensure the full integration of those displaced from Ukraine.

The final agenda for the event is available.

About the project

The MINTE project explores the integration of those displaced from Ukraine. It aims to facilitate the development of workable integration policies for municipalities in the Czech Republic and Poland, and to monitor and learn from good practices related to migrant integration in other European countries and Israel. MINTE also investigates migrants’ digital
skills in relation to their integration within EU localities, and specifically in Central and Eastern European countries. The project additionally queries the role of technologies in migration and at border spaces, and how migrants interact with them. The MINTE outputs range from reports, academic publications and an upcoming book, to interactive teaching materials and an online game meant to help educate stakeholders and the larger public
about forced migration.

The project is funded with support from the European Commission under the Erasmus+ Programme.
