  1. Supporting Open and Closed Reception Systems in Malta through Profiling, Action Research and Knowledge Transfer aka “Sparklet”

  2. Overall details • Follow up, with modifications, to “COPE” • Funding: European Refugee Fund, Community Actions 2010 • Project Leader: AWAS • Projects partners: COA (NL), IOM (MT), FES (MT), DS (MT), University of Malta (MT) • Duration: From February 2011 – November 2012

  3. Context • Malta’s system of closed and open centres. • Although AWAS is primarily responsible for open centres, de facto it had become responsible for provision of welfare (in the widest sense) in closed centres. This is problematic in some ways • Sparklet was an attempt to bring the two stages of reception closer. How?

  4. Features • Client profiling system with the assistance of imported expertise • Language classes • Induction sessions, cultural orientation • Personnel training • Leisure activities, sports • Family tracing of UMAS • Project management • Action Research

  5. After Sparklet • It is now evident to AWAS (and to several of our partners) that the need for such activities is a permanent one • Funding should be a mixture of national funding and project-based funding • AWAS is adamant to enter only into commitments strictly defined in its mandate • “Review on detention” • Further international cooperation
