We started this project with a weekly reading circle to learn more about reintegration, migration governance, and other topics that we want to incorporate as at team into the Reintegrate project. It was a great opportunity to reflect, share our ideas, and get to know each other, while learning from these amazing authors and their work. Check out our reading list below!
