New Migrations: Active Inclusion
Start date: May 23, 2016, End date: Dec 22, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project was born when we realized the need to act regarding the integration and acceptance of migrants in the various European communities.We all know how the flow of migrants represent an emergency for these people forced to long trips with obstacles and with no certainties.Often, however, the same migrants flows represent an issue for the institutions of the host communities who are struggling to develop strategies and find resources to ensure a dignified reception and to promote an adequate integration.We noticed, however, considering the intensification of emergencies in various local European realities that informal groups, associations, collectives, citizens etc are developing solidarity actions and projects to ensure a dignified reception and an integration path suitable to immigrants.These initiatives are supported by the voluntary and active participation of ordinary citizens who have felt an emergency situation affecting their community.Our project's main aim is giving greater visibility to these initiatives and promote their diffusion through young participants in an international environment.Working closely with our local institutions we realized which are the needs and issues related to this situation in our community.Through this project we want to create an opportunity for discussion and sharing these good practices among different groups of people experiencing the same situation in his own reality .We want to make these good practices be shared, evaluated and replicated in different European contexts.To sum up, the main issues that we face through this project are: migrations flows , its causes effects and possible integration solutions.The non formal learning activities will address many objectives as :- Improving key skills such as:-Communication In the mother tongue in national groups activities-Communication In foreign languages through activities in mixed groups run in English-Learn To learn through the different methodologies used in the project- Social and civic skills meeting in different occasions the local community- .
