On April 29 and 30, IOM Bulgaria held free information sessions for refugees from Ukraine in Primorsko and Sunny Beach, as part of our outreach efforts in the Burgas region — the area currently hosting the largest number of displaced people from Ukraine.

In Primorsko, the session took place at the BDZ Recreation Facility, while the event in Sunny Beach was hosted at the Council of Ministers' Recreation Facility. Dozens of attendees from the local refugee community participated, actively engaging with our team and asking a wide range of questions on topics that matter most to them.

Questions ranged from employment rights and temporary protection to accessing healthcare, enrolling children in schools, and understanding social support opportunities in 2025. The strong turnout reflects the continued need for reliable, accessible information and support.

These sessions are part of our ongoing efforts to support social inclusion and help migrants make informed decisions about their lives in Bulgaria.

These events were organised within the framework the project “Migrant Information Centres - Support to Social Inclusion of Migrants in Bulgaria", funded by the National Program of Bulgaria under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund 2021-2027 with the financial support of the European Union.
