REACT

The project unfolds in four key phases, following a Community-Based Participatory Research approach that actively involves migrants in every step, from identifying risks to co-creating strategies and sharing knowledge within their communities.

1. Mapping and trust-building – identifying migrant communities through local organizations and fostering relationships based on trust.

2. Exploring perceptions – interviewing participants to understand how they perceive risks, what strategies they currently use, and the obstacles they face.

3. Co-creating a toolkit – together with participants, developing practical tools for disaster preparedness, including safety strategies, city maps with safe locations, and user-friendly guides tailored to cultural and linguistic needs.

4. Peer-delivery and evaluation – participants act as peer trainers, sharing the toolkit with their communities, while the project evaluates the effectiveness and impact of these activities.

By placing migrants at the center of the process, REACT not only produces practical, culturally sensitive tools but also fosters stronger community networks and collective resilience, giving participants a voice in shaping the ways they prepare for and respond to climate-induced disasters.
