Urban Academy on Integration: Background Reader: First edition 16-18 April 2018
On 17th and 18th April 2018, the first edition of the Urban Academy on Integration was held in Brussels. The event was organised as an effort to bring together local policy makers from all over Europe who are involved in one way or another with the integration of migrants and refugees, either with a focus on education or on civil society engagement.
During the two days, local policy makers had the opportunity to discuss common challenges and learn from national policy makers from the European Integration Network, from members of the European Migrant Advisory Board, other integration experts and each other on issues related to integration of migrants and refugees on the local level.
This reader provides a general background, research insights and best practices related to the two themes of the 2018 edition of the Urban Academy on Integration and responds directly to the dilemmas and questions that were brought up by participants.
The Urban Academy on Integration is an initiative of the EU Urban Agenda Partnership on Inclusion of Migrants and Refugees. The goal of the Partnership is for cities to be able to influence European legislation, funding and knowledge sharing. With more influence on these three themes cities would be able to deal much more efficiently with challenges concerning integration and inclusion of migrants and refugees.
