Although there has been an incredible outpouring of solidarity and assistance for people who have fled their country, it is time to change gears and look deeper into the future. This demands pushing beyond the supply of emergency life-saving aid and adopting a more long-term and sustainable strategy that includes the broader economic and social inclusion of these significantly affected groups.
Recent events have brought attention to the rising number of refugees, displaced persons, and stateless people worldwide. The number has reached a staggering 89.3 million. Surprisingly, only five nations account for roughly two-thirds of all refugees in the world: Syria, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Myanmar, and Somalia.
According to intercultural coach Sayed Sayedy, this rising number of refugees requires efficient training to help them settle into new countries. Every refugee has a unique story, yet they all have the same root causes. They are living in foreign countries, where they are not welcomed, with no indication of when or if they will be able to return to their homes. These refugees have had their lives entirely uprooted and rattled.
These refugees are in desperate need of assistance, and Sayed Sayedy has dedicated his life to helping them. According to Sayedy “There are more things you can do, other than giving money and holding fundraisers. Sayedy communicates with refugees across cultural barriers, which is extremely valuable to these refugees, and he can aid with emergency assistance, crisis management, and conflict resolution for them and their host communities.
Some tips for intercultural coaching from Sayed Sayedy to people who want to help refugees in their country are listed below:
Contributing Time
Your time is one of the most important things you can provide. A breakdown in cross-cultural communication is a significant cause of disagreement, miscommunication, and conflict between refugees and their host nations. You may volunteer as an intercultural communicator and, with the help of a translator, teach communication skills to both refugees and locals in the host nations nearby. The refugees will get practical communication skills and an understanding of how to handle disputes in the culture they are surrounded by if they receive the proper communication training. Conflict resolution benefits from an awareness of the communication methods and cultural backgrounds of both the host and the refugee populations.
Communication Skills
Both the refugees and the host nations may ensure that the refugees’ transition from their home countries to their new life in the host communities is well-organized and orderly by organizing the settlement of refugees. This will help the refugees move smoothly from the homes they are leaving behind to the nations where they are seeking asylum, as well as remove their worry and anxiety. Resource mobilization may be far more intensive around organized settlements. Culture shock may have a significant impact on how easily refugees migrate, but by collaborating with the host nations to create orderly settlement plans, we can lessen this impact and the internal strife that frequently results.
Raising Awareness
Even if your personal or professional life is chaotic, you still want to use your international communication skills. By spreading awareness, you may make a significant yet simple impact on the world’s refugee issue. Simply posting on social media, blogging, or publishing articles might help spread awareness. More individuals are likely to become engaged if they are aware of the alarming figures, truths, and tales surrounding the worldwide refugee issue. You may use your communication abilities to talk with people from different cultures, faiths, and worldviews.
