This document discusses the role of local authorities in addressing homelessness at the EU level. It notes that EU strategies since 2000 have increasingly prioritized involving local authorities in social inclusion efforts like addressing homelessness. Local authorities are well-positioned to map homelessness, implement policies, and evaluate impacts at the local level. The document proposes establishing a European Forum Against Homelessness consisting of various thematic forums, including one specifically for local authorities, to facilitate mutual learning and involvement in EU policymaking among stakeholders addressing homelessness.
Local Undocumented Migration Policy in the Municipality of UtrechtThomas Jézéquel
The document discusses the local undocumented migration policy of Utrecht, Netherlands. It outlines the basic legal principles that guide the policy, including obligations to provide shelter to vulnerable undocumented migrants based on human rights treaties and court rulings. The policy aims to prevent homelessness and illegal stay through support centers that provide coaching to help migrants obtain residence permits or reconnect to their home countries. Evaluation of the programs found better results than national policies, with many migrants gaining perspectives and reduced rough sleeping and criminal offenses.
This document discusses the City Initiative on Migrants with Irregular Status in Europe (CMISE) project.

Vienna is a highly diverse and fast-growing city, with nearly 1.9 million inhabitants as of 2018. Almost 30% of residents hold a foreign passport, 36% were born outside of Austria, and about half have a parent born abroad. In 2015 alone, the city grew by 40,000 people, including over 20,000 refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq who sought asylum there.
The city has developed complex administrative structures and policies to promote equality, anti-discrimination, and integration. However, immigrant and refugee women in particular face high levels of social inequality and discrimination in education, the labor market, and income. National government cuts to integration programming also present challenges.
Milan has a large immigrant population that makes up around 19% of the city's total population. The immigrant population comes largely from Asia, Africa, and South America, and many immigrants come to Milan for employment and education opportunities. While initially focusing on emergency support, the city has increasingly aimed to promote long-term integration solutions through language classes, job training, and housing assistance. The municipality works closely with community organizations to develop inclusive policies and services that help immigrants feel like citizens of Milan.

This document discusses the key findings of a survey conducted by the Anna Lindh Foundation on intercultural trends in the Euro-Mediterranean region. The survey found increasing interest in news from neighboring countries, high levels of tolerance for diversity, and that education programs are seen as very effective for helping people live in multicultural societies. However, media coverage is still seen as influencing views of other cultures. The Anna Lindh Foundation is addressing these trends through actions focused on education, youth empowerment, and supporting civil society networks and local dialogue.
This document summarizes emerging findings from a study on how cities in the EU respond to the needs of irregular migrants. The key points are:
1) City responses are constrained by national laws but may differ from national priorities by responding to local needs and problems.
2) Beyond legal requirements, cities provide services like healthcare, education, shelter, and food assistance. They do so for reasons of legal duty, humanitarian concerns, and practical goals like public health and crime prevention.
3) Factors influencing city approaches include evidence of needs, pressure from service providers, capacity to provide, and examples from other cities. Approaches differ even within countries based on these competency and capacity factors.
The document summarizes the European Investment Bank's (EIB) support for integrating cities and refugees through lending, blending, and advising. Since 2014, the EIB has financed 15 projects related to migrant/refugee accommodation and social infrastructure in Germany and Southern Europe. Eligible sectors for EIB lending include housing, shelter, infrastructure, emergency response, and technical assistance. The EIB also supports youth employment, resilience initiatives, and the EU Urban Agenda partnership on migrant inclusion. Cities face challenges financing integration work due to high competition, complex governance, and burdensome administrative procedures for EU funds. An Inclusion Blending Facility could help by blending EU grants and loans to provide direct funding and synergies.
1. ImpleMentoring is an EU-funded project led by EUROCITIES that provides city-to-city support for migrant integration through tailored mentoring schemes.
2. The project aims to help cities address gaps in migrant integration policies and practices by matching them with mentor cities to work on specific integration challenges.
3. Preliminary findings show the mentoring model is effective in fostering collaboration between cities and catalyzing policy changes, though resources are limited and preparation time could be expanded.

Global compact on migration why it matters for cities colleen thouezFeyrouz Lajili-Djalaï
Cities have had an impact on the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) in three key ways:
1. Cities advocated for non-discriminatory access to services for all migrants regardless of status. This influenced language in the GCM's objectives on access to public health and education.
2. Cities highlighted the importance of jointly implementing the GCM and Global Compact on Refugees to address vulnerabilities and leave no one behind.
3. Greater acknowledgement of cities in international agreements must translate to additional resources and funding for cities' migration-related activities and programs.

The workshop brought together delegations from 9 countries to reflect on findings from a cross-country research project examining how VET systems can either promote or hinder social inclusion.

The workshop emphasized the need for more equitable VET policies and practices that provide disadvantaged youth fair opportunities, including improving school resources, curricula, career guidance and connections to employers.

The document discusses a multiplier event called DI4ALL.eu that will take place in February 2024 in Vilnius, Lithuania. It is an ERASMUS+ project coordinated by Ebba Ossiannilsson from Sweden and partners from the Lithuanian College of Democracy. The event will focus on improving key competencies and skills of young people through quality improvements and digital inclusion in education. It will also improve teacher competencies in promoting digital inclusion and tackling disinformation.
The document discusses issues with special education in India compared to Western standards, focusing on Kerala. It notes that while India has established many special schools and laws to support people with disabilities, the reality is that many children do not receive proper medical care, parenting guidance, education, or support to reach their potential. Barriers like stigma, lack of trained investigators, and reluctance to report disabilities also mean the true number of people with disabilities is likely higher than reported. The document calls for a shift in focus from sympathy to empowerment, inclusion, and harnessing human potential for development.
The document discusses a knowledge transfer project between Edge Hill University and community groups in Liverpool. The project aimed to promote information literacy and learning opportunities to support diversity and social justice.
