About the IOM HELIOS program
Starting in July 2019 with initial funding from the European Union and continuing today with funding from the Hellenic Ministry of Immigration and Asylum, the HELIOS Integration Program, implemented throughout Greece by the IOM, aims to promote and support the integration of beneficiaries of international protection in Greek society. The initiatives and pillars of the project focus on integration lessons, supporting the housing and employment of the target populations, monitoring their integration process and raising awareness of the host communities.
