OUTCOMES
Innovative and inclusive capacity strengthened
Participants reported increased skills,
confidence and motivation, particularly
through peer exchange and storytelling.
Learning from community-led research
models, innovative digital tools, and
alternative advocacy strategies expanded
participants’ sense of what is possible, even
with limited resources. Creative expression –
including poetry, dance, and music – was
repeatedly cited as a powerful means of
reinforcing solidarity, dignity, agency, and
emotional connection as integral to
changemaking and fostering safe and
collaborative spaces.
Approaches to advocacy for improved identification and
protection showcased
Discussions addressed gaps in identification and
protection,
especially
in
countries
without
Statelessness Determination Procedures, and for
specific groups, including children. Key takeaways
included the need for more focus on data and
accurate recording of statelessness, for accessible,
flexible, and trauma-informed procedures, better
trained authorities, and coordinated implementation
of EU-level commitments. Sessions on a wide variety
of topics such as legal empowerment, local-level
engagement, tools development, and digital
innovation demonstrated promising pathways, while
also acknowledging persistent implementation
failures and the need for sustained, coordinated
advocacy.
