Awareness backlashing --- In Greece, we've witnessed increased awareness raising at the beginning of the refugee crisis in 2015-16, yet despite the early mobilisation of host communities, given that at the national level locals were facing issues related to the economic crisis, the situation changes. We see many host communities being sceptical about the civil society advocating for refugee rights, whilst feeling that the local populations rights are being forgotten. In such cases how can HD contribute to the re-mobilisation of the public?
