Country Reports

In the first phase of this project, each partner conducted research on how migrant people are integrated at the local level in their respective cities and countries. This included analyzing integration policies and programs led by municipalities, regional authorities, and national governments. The teams interviewed migrant people, social service workers, and local officials to identify gaps and needs in current programs and to explore opportunities for new initiatives and improvements.

Integration Strategy Framework (ISF) and Guidelines

The University of Bologna compiled the country reports into a comparative study to highlight common gaps and priorities in all countries. This analysis identified four key areas for improving integration strategies: employability, education and training, social cohesion, and access to healthcare. From this, the University developed an Integration Strategy Framework—a methodology designed to guide NGOs, public authorities, and stakeholders in creating effective and inclusive programs for migrant integration.

Pilot Activities Results

In the project’s second phase, each partner organized pilot activities adapted to their local contexts, using the guidelines and Integration Strategy Framework.

Toolkit

In the third phase of this project, partners collected results from the pilot activities and developed a Toolkit of best practices and key recommendations. This toolkit is designed to guide and inspire NGOs, public authorities, and other stakeholders in implementing effective integration activities and programs.
