Germans visit Boise to study refugee resettlement
Some decent news for a change from IdahoBOISE -- The success of Boise's refugee resettlement program has attracted international attention.
German professionals, public officials and volunteers kicked off a two-day visit of Boise to learn about how the city welcomes and integrates refugees.
"You actually see it in action, you see how it actually turns out and how and what the impact is on the community," said Katja Kurz, coordinator for the Welcoming Communities Transatlantic Exchange.
Germany is among the many European countries that has seen dramatic increases in refugees due to a growing international migration crisis. In 2015, Germany saw around a million refugees cross into their country.
