Description: Global changes taking place in the world and in the country aggravate the economic situation of people who are forced to change their place of residence for socio-economic and political reasons in search of better living conditions. At the same time, people moving to another city or country face the fact that the residents of the host country disapprove of migrants because they see them as a threat to personal and national security.

The implementation of the project will allow to study the socio-psychological features of migrants’ perception, including the substantiation of recommendations aimed at reducing xenophobia in society and the formation of a tolerant attitude towards migrants through the implementation of steps aimed at forming a benevolent attitude towards migrants.
