Tammuz Conducts a Training Workshop for Returnees from Migration in Baghdad

Tammuz Organization for Social Development implemented a training workshop for returnees from migration as part of the project Raising Awareness of the Risks of Irregular Migration in Iraq (RADIM), funded by UK International Development and implemented in partnership with Seefar Foundation, on Tuesday, 30 December 2025, in Baghdad.

The training aimed to empower returnees to professionally and effectively narrate their personal migration experiences and the challenges they faced during their migration journeys, in order to raise community awareness about the risks and consequences of irregular migration.

The training was delivered by Dr. Bushra Zuwayni and covered several key components. It began with participants sharing their personal stories, followed by guidance on storytelling techniques, including emotional storytelling, understanding the target audience, and building a coherent narrative. The workshop also included a role-playing exercise, during which participants practiced narrating their stories before migration, during migration, and after return, as well as developing skills to respond professionally to questions from audiences and listeners.
