Highlights:
On 3 July, UNHCR released an awareness campaign to sustain refugee inclusion and social cohesion in Romania. The campaign title “Born in Ukraine. Finding hope in Romania” is delivering messages of gratefulness from refugees from Ukraine who found home in Romania. During the first week UNHCR conducted an extensive outreach to media and the general public through different channels such as social media, billboards in major cities in Romania (Bucharest, Brasov, Constanta, Cluj, Timisoara) and the radio. The launching of the campaign was also widely reported in written and online media, as well as in television. It is expected that hundreds of thousands of Romanians will hear the positive messages of the campaign which were developed in consultation with various stakeholders in Romania.
