Project Title “Migrants in Europe: Promoting Inclusion, Tolerance and Dialogue”

Start: 13-06-2017 – End: 12-06-2019

The project is promoted by Itaka training together with a national consortium of other 6 Italian organizations: DEMOSTENE Centro Studi; Associazione Integrazioni Calabria; Liceo Tommaso Campanella; Sifi – Social Innovation for Inclusion;  Insieme Coop. Sociale Onlus; Associazione La Mimosa; and Kairos Europe the UK training provider.

The project will help its participants gain a greater understanding of the issues that affect non-EU migrants and people with disadvantaged backgrounds when integrating in European countries. Through the workshops, lectures, panel discussions, networking and sharing of ideas the participant will learn about the British responses refugees and asylum seekers. Given that the two types of immigration affecting the two countries are of different nature and entity, the fact that the UK has been a land of immigration for a long time and that migrants have settled down here for many generations, creating a very multicultural society is significant. Despite such integration patterns are not applicable today, they can still be used as an example to look at.

30 participants will be selected from the consortium’s staff. All the members have expressed the necessity to acquire skills in discussing, learning and observing historical and current migration trends and having a greater insight on some of the issues, dilemmas and solutions that many non-EU migrants face.
