Sylvia Garduño Magnussen (Faroe Islands)
Refugee Affairs Coordinator. Municipality of Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. I specialize in supporting and facilitating the integration of refugees into society by providing guidance, resources, and advocacy. My work involves assisting individuals and families in navigating essential services such as education, healthcare, and employment while ensuring their rights and well-being are upheld. I collaborate with local authorities, NGOs, and community organizations to create inclusive opportunities and address challenges related to migration and resettlement.
Areas of expertise: My expertise lies in intercultural communication, social integration strategies, and program development, particularly in the Faroe Islands’ diverse communities. I design cross-cultural training, work on policy discussions, and engage directly with refugees to improve access to services, employment, and digital technology. My focus is on enhancing cultural awareness and fostering active participation in society through sustainable and empowering solutions.
Passion in life: Beyond my professional work, I volunteer with the Red Cross, engaging with people from diverse backgrounds and deepening my cultural perspective. I am also highly creative, with a passion for painting and cooking, which allow me to express myself and explore artistic and culinary traditions.
