The project “resettlement.de” was a nationwide cooperation project carried out by the Caritasverband für die Diözese Hildesheim e.V./Caritasstelle im GDl Friedland together with the Deutscher Caritasverband e.V. from 2015 to 2020. The aim of the project was to provide information about the various reception programmes and to connect the different actors involved in the reception process. The project also promoted the exchange of experience between former and newly arrived refugees in so-called buddy meetings. Through its regular participation in national and international conferences, Caritas has been continuously networking and has been committed to the steady expansion and improvement of the quality of German admission procedures, while taking into account the perspective of the refugees.
