Joachim Verhoeven from the victim protection unit of the Kleve district police also reported on the practice of victim protection in Germany and the Netherlands. He presented cross-border aspects and it became clear that empathetic and continuous support for victims is important. The second part of the event focused on addressing migrant workers, both digitally and in person. Szabolcs Sepsi (Fair Mobility), Traian Danciu (Fair Accompaniment of Labour Migration Project, Arbeit und Leben NRW) and Monique Gerrits-Hooijer (Zorg- en Veiligheidshuis Noord-Limburg) reported on their respective experiences and strategies. At the end of the event, the discussion turned to improving the accessibility of advice centres. It became clear that social media provides successful and low-threshold access to the target group.
The TRAM project is currently planning a law clinic in the field of social counselling on 16 October 2025, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The clinic is aimed at counselling centres and migrant workers. Further information will be announced on the TRAM website and in the newsletter.

Partners in the project are the Hochschule Rhein-Waal, Radboud University, Gemeente Apeldoorn und the Euregion Rhine-Waal.
