European Regions, Migration and Integration
The EUMINT project aims at strengthening cross-border cooperation between institutions in the Provinces of Blzano and Trento, in the Länder of Tirol and Carinthia, and in the Regions of Friuli Venezia-Giulia and Veneto, in order to tackle social, economic, political and cultural challenges arisen from migration phenomena. Border regions require indeed common and coherent measures in the field of integration policies. The project will involve municipal, provincial/regional and euro-regional institutions in three different spheres: - Institutional integration: the project will promote a direct exchange of experiences between project partners through field visits, a “laboratory of ideas” and a series of recommendations for multilevel institutions operating in the field of integration; - Civic integration: in view of transferring its results to different institutions and territories, the project will train new professional figures in the field of welfare and social care through the development of innovative didactic material with the aim of sensitizing asylum-seekers and refugees to common European values; - Labour integration: thanks to a participative process, the project will lay the foundations for the development of specific short- and medium-term measures and instruments, as well as long-term strategies and policies, for the integration of asylum-seekers and refugees in the labour market.
