The Council of the European Union has extended temporary protection until March 2026, yet there remains a need to identify sustainable solutions to ensure stability and economic independence of the war refugees both in their host countries and, when possible, upon their return to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>EMN Estonia invites you to the national conference <strong>Beyond Temporary: Building for the Future<\/strong> to explore the future of Ukrainian war refugees beyond temporary protection. This conference will bring together policymakers, experts, and stakeholders to discuss strategies for policy transitions, address employment related integration challenges, share best practices, and examine the role of the diaspora in supporting long-term solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Conference recording:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M1srDa3-RGE?si=WJbucy1zpLdD5weN\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[card-collapse][card-collapse-title]Briefing paper[\/card-collapse-title][card-collapse-body]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emn.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/briefing-paper-buildingforthefuture.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the conference summary<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/card-collapse-body][\/card-collapse]<\/p>\n<p>[card-collapse][card-collapse-title]Agenda[\/card-collapse-title][card-collapse-body]<strong>8:30 \u2013 09:00 <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Registration and morning coffee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>9:00 \u2013 9:30<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Opening of the conference and welcome remarks<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Veiko Kommusaar<\/strong>, Deputy Director General, Estonian Police and Border Guard Board<\/li>\n<li><strong>Annely Kolk<\/strong>, Ambassador of Estonia to Ukraine <em>(online presentation)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>09:30 \u2013 10:40<\/strong> \u00a0<strong>Keynote and introductory speeches <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A broader perspective, including migration prospects, impact of ongoing conflict dynamics in Ukraine on long-term planning, rights and responsibilities of war refugees, diaspora engagement, possible exit strategies<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keynote speech: <b><span data-contrast=\"none\">From Temporary Protection to Durable Solutions: Envisioning the Future of Ukrainians in Europe, <\/span><\/b><strong>Dr Meltem Ineli Ciger &#8211; <\/strong>Associate Professor, Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of Law, Public International Law Department<\/li>\n<li><strong>Elena Gobbetti,<\/strong> European Commission, DG Home Asylum Unit <em>(online presentation)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>10:40 \u2013 11:00<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Coffee break<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>11:00 \u2013 13:00<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Session I: Transition from temporary measures to long-term approaches<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first panel will focus on long-term plans and strategies for persons under temporary protection or similar protection statuses, following the end of these arrangements.

Ukraine has suffered massive human casualties and the destruction of infrastructure, with people being forced to flee their homes in search of safety, protection, and assistance. As of 31 December 2024, more than 56 000 persons have received temporary protection from Estonia.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time in the history of the European Union (EU), the Council of the European Union decided on 4 March 2022 to implement the Temporary Protection Directive to protect people fleeing the war in Ukraine. On 25 June 2024, the Council decided to extend the validity of temporary protection until March 2026. Although temporary protection gives refugees access to the labour market, education, healthcare, and social services similar to local residents, the question arises as to how to maintain and strengthen the refugees&#8217; quality of life after the end of temporary protection. Since the war has already lasted for three years, it is important for the host countries to start planning for long-term solutions alongside temporary protection.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key aspects in finding long-term solutions for war refugees is ensuring labour market integration. Despite many people from Ukraine successfully entering the workforce in host countries, several obstacles exist that hinder their smooth integration into the labour market. Language barriers, the recognition of qualifications, and adapting to labour market conditions are among the main challenges. To transition from temporary solutions to more permanent ones, it is crucial to address these bottlenecks. Strengthening labour market integration not only promotes economic independence but also supports broader social inclusion, facilitates better adaptation to the host society, and prepares displaced persons from Ukraine for the possibility of returning to Ukraine in the future. At the same time, engaging the Ukrainian diaspora in host countries can play an important role as a bridge between temporary protection frameworks and more permanent settlement pathways.<\/p>\n<p>The opening of the conference `Beyond Temporary: Building for the Future\u00b4 will provide a comprehensive overview of the current situation of beneficiaries of temporary protection (BoTP) from Ukraine, present the EU&#8217;s and other states approach to meeting their needs, and outline possible future pathways. It will also briefly address broader issues related to Ukraine&#8217;s reconstruction and highlight the important role of diaspora engagement in supporting long-term solutions.<\/p>\n<p>The first panel of EMN Estonia\u2019s national conference will focus on long-term plans and strategies for persons under temporary protection or similar protection statuses, following the end of these arrangements. The second part of the conference will address integration challenges and good practices, with a particular emphasis on labour market integration and diaspora engagement.<\/p>\n<p>[\/card-collapse-body][\/card-collapse]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conference date: 28 May 2025 from 8.30 AM to 4.10 PM Location: Estonian Academy of Security Sciences, Kase 61, Tallinn Since the Russian full-scale military invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, 6.3 million people have been forced to flee their homes.
