Abstract

This contribution aims to introduce some reflections on the complexity of the reception system for asylum seekers and refugees, focusing on its various phases and its time. The aim of the work, based on a field research conducted in the Autonomous Province of Trento, is to understand how its fragmented structure, in which structures they take place and how they take charge in each context, in the hypothesis that to date there is no fluidity in the services and functions reserved for each of these stages of a single path within the life of the asylum seeker. To this end, we will proceed to a preliminary description of the Trentino reception service model for asylum seekers and refugees, and then move on to the detailed analysis of the various phases.
