Share projects: Quality Sponsorship Network (QSN) Plus

Building on the success of the Share QSN project, QSN Plus aims to further improve the integration of refugees in Europe by strengthening and expanding community sponsorship (CS) programmes.


March 2024-August 2026

This project works within the framework of European resettlement and complementary pathways (CPs) to create a more cohesive approach to supporting refugees.

Co-funded by the European Union and coordinated by ICMC Europe, QSN Plus brings together a consortium of actors running community sponsorship programs in Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy and Spain.

Objectives

Expand and Diversify Sponsorship: engage a wider range of actors in refugee sponsorship, including diaspora groups, refugees themselves, employers, housing associations, and students. This will expand programs geographically, reaching rural areas.

Enhance Sponsorship Quality: improve the quality of support offered by sponsors through updated training materials and toolkits adapted to local needs. Training will be delivered through a mix of in-person and online sessions.

Strengthen Coordination: establish stronger connections between community sponsorship and other refugee support programs at local, regional, national, and European levels. This will lead to more consistent and effective policies and practices.
