Program
Partially open to the public, promoted a roundtable of people directionally involved in the matter, both institutional and not, to introduce concrete proposals to improve the management of the welcoming process, and subsequent integration of immigrants.
Goals
The goal was to develop the Italian manifesto of best practices on immigration and integration, in order to foster political and institutional change on such topics for the years to come.
Results
We decided to start RefugIT, the new two-year project by Italian hubs to create, with the various stakeholders (newly landed immigrants, citizens, governments, NGOs on the ground), a common framework to improve the welcoming process, and subsequent integration, of immigrants
