Cultural mediators to support the Italian police and migration authorities

In 2023, Italy has been facing a high number of disembarkations. In order to facilitate communication between migrants, police and migration authorities, Italy works together with cultural mediators. Switzerland finances the deployment of cultural mediators with the Rapid Response Fund of the Second Swiss Contribution.

A cultural mediator from IOM is in conversation with a migrant to support him. Other migrants can be seen in the background.
