ROUTES Project - Integration of third country nationals

ROUTES aims at setting up transnational cooperation networks to exchange best practices in the field of immigrants’ integration. The project will contribute to increase the collaboration between public entities, NGOs and associations. It also aims at identifying the most effective policy approaches in guaranteeing an appropriate response to integration needs. In particular, the reinforcement and development of consultation mechanisms at a local and regional level represents the most suitable way to maintain a dialogue between immigrants and hosting communities, as well as with those institutions and other stakeholders involved in the integration process.

ROUTES is an EU funded project under the INTI programme 2006, and Veneto Lavoro is the project leader.

CIEN - Good Practices In Citizenship And Coexistence In European Neighbourhoods

Over the last few years, many European cities have developed town-planning intervention experiences accompanied by actions to strengthen social cohesion, to promote a more solid coexistence and to prevent the appearance of racist and xenophobic incidents in neighbourhoods with structural problems, where most of the immigrant population is concentrated. CIEN´s goal is to generate knowledge through the exchange of experiences about policies for the promotion of citizenship and coexistence, developed in European neighbourhoods with a high concentration of non-EU immigrants, in order to transfer this knowledge to European cities.

CIEN is an EU funded project under the INTI programme 2005. The project leader is Deputaciò de Barcelona.
