Experiment in Newcomer Integration (ENI)
Start date: Sep 30, 2005, End date: Oct 29, 2007 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The Project proposal aims at fostering the successful integration of refugees and immigrants at a community level.Four principles underlie the project’s approach to integration:- New Europeans should be involved significantly in decision-making processes;- Integration is a two-way process that implicates and benefits both newcomers and receiving community members;-Local Coalitions are among the vehicles that can foster effective and meaningful collaborations in order to tackle the numerous challenges and opportunities associated with socio-economic, cultural and demographic change. - Resources should be devoted to integration-focused interventions, as well as to coalition building and training opportunities, which lead to systemic change.Project will focus on local coalition and group of association. Assistance to local group and association of refugees and migration, especially in new EU member state is one of the main aspects of the project activities. Expected Results: Main results and effects of the project will be: - Setting up of local coalitions, such as local stakeholder committees also including immigrants, - Development of a method for measuring segregation and presence of newcomers in local communities, - Improved allocation of resources devoted to integration-focused interventions, community building and training opportunities, - Promotion of integration policies that acknowledge diversity as factor of development and not as a problem of social security, - Report and research of focus groups, - Didactical programme for teachers dealing with early education for children of newcomers, - Manual to assist newcomer entrepreneurs, - Service centres and a catalogue to help newcomers start their own activities.
