1.The number of people that can be succesfully integrated
We can follow the example of Tilos. If an island like Tilos where the population is 500 people can support around 70 refugees , then a city like Kozani that has around 42.000 residents can host 5.000 refugees. -
2.Accommodation
Refugees can stay in hotels which they'll pay with the money from the allowance and in abandoned houses and buildings which will be repaired . We can also establish a refugee camp where they can live for free. -
3.The kind of entrepreneurship that can be developed
As a town we can create employment opportunities for the refugees. Women can be employed in house cleaning , as waitresses at local restaurants or as the local women cooperative. Men can be employed in farming or as craftsmen at local businesses. -
4.The ways local schools can help
Local schools can donate old clothes , toys and food. We could also encourage older students to help younger refugee children with homework whenever they can afford the time . Additionally , the could translate from English to Greek to help in communication . -
5.The potential benefits for local community
Refugees can help our local community.They can spend the money from the allowance from the UNHCR at local shops. Furthermore we can organize a ball , a charity or a bazaar where they'll also spend money from their allowance.
