Compas Paper : cities responses to migrants
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.

This document discusses challenges and opportunities for multiculturalism in European cities. It notes two contradictory trends: socio-ethnic polarization and fragmentation versus neo-cosmopolitan exchange and interculturalism. The author argues that cities should work to invent a multicultural citizenship by embracing diversity, promoting cohesion, and ensuring equal rights and participation for all residents regardless of background. Specific policy issues that could support these goals include recognizing diversity, funding community projects, promoting the arts, addressing segregation, enabling local citizenship and conflict resolution.

Concept note fv
1. The document discusses a conference on how cities can better integrate migrants and promote co-development practices between local authorities. As more people move to cities, local governments are confronting the opportunities and challenges of migration.
2. It notes that while migration and development initiatives by local authorities exist globally, they often remain isolated. There is a need to structure cooperation between local authorities in different countries to jointly manage migration and exchange knowledge. Local authorities are on the front lines of impacts of migration through effects on labor markets and public services.
3. The conference aims to discuss partnerships and tools to increase knowledge sharing between local authorities, engage diaspora groups in co-development programs, and link migration and integration initiatives to local development

This network would facilitate information sharing of best practices, multilevel policy dialogue, and advocacy to involve local and regional authorities in integration policymaking at the EU level.
Presentatie tampere caritas
This document discusses the work of Caritas International's Integration Cell in Belgium, which provides personalized assistance to vulnerable refugee groups to aid their integration. The Cell targets refugees recognized in closed centers, resettled refugees, and other vulnerable groups like single mothers and minors. It assists over 130 refugees annually with housing searches, administrative tasks, language classes, training programs, and referrals to specialized services. Integration coaches provide tailored support and help refugees access fragmented social services. The Cell aims to give refugees a comprehensive support system and network to avoid gaps in services that could hinder successful long-term integration.

1) Tampere hosted an EU Summit in 1999 that set out future immigration policies for the European Union, and is now hosting the Eurocities conference 14 years later to assess developments in immigration since then.
2) Tampere has a history of internationality dating back to its founding in 1779 by King Gustav III of Sweden, and much of its early industrial growth was fueled by immigrant entrepreneurs.
3) While Tampere's immigrant population is currently small compared to other European cities, immigration has accounted for about half of its annual population growth in recent years.
Local Undocumented Migration Policy in the Municipality of Utrecht
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.

The document summarizes a newspaper article about tensions between Spanish citizens and immigrant populations in the town of Salt, Spain. Unemployment had risen to 25% for immigrants and 13% for natives, fueling social tensions. Crime had also risen 23% and racist groups were exploiting the situation. The town was experiencing conflicts between those who wanted to impose stricter controls on immigrants and those calling for respect for all residents.
Thoughts About Independence (IT In Transit #20)
This document summarizes two incidents experienced by Catalans outside of Catalonia that illustrate underlying tensions with Spain. In the first incident, a Catalan taxi driver in Saragossa was verbally abused by other drivers for having a Barcelona taxi. In the second incident, a group of young Catalan men in Madrid were assaulted in what appeared to be a nationalist attack. These anecdotes suggest to the author that anti-Catalan sentiment in Spain goes beyond isolated incidents and points to deeper societal issues.

IMMIGRATION IN ASTURIAS
The document discusses immigration to Asturias, Spain. It finds that Ecuador, Colombia, Portugal, Brazil, Romania, Argentina and Morocco are the top countries of origin for immigrants to Asturias. Many immigrants come for economic opportunities, as conditions and wages are often better in Spain. Through interviews, the students found that immigrants leave their families behind due to lack of money, and face rejection and difficulties in Spain, but feel they have no choice due to their situations in their home countries. The students conclude that immigration is a complex issue and that both immigrants and locals would benefit from greater cultural understanding and acceptance of differences.
Homelessness and Migration in Southern European Countries

INSTEUpaper
This document discusses migration patterns in Spain. It notes that Spain has experienced both significant immigration and emigration in recent decades. During the Franco regime, many Spaniards moved from rural to urban areas. More recently, Spain saw large increases in migrants from Latin America and Eastern Europe who filled jobs in agriculture and services. However, since the 2008 financial crisis, many Spanish citizens and migrants have left Spain due to high unemployment. At the same time, Spain struggles with large numbers of refugees and illegal immigrants entering from Africa, though it has taken steps like border fences to reduce flows. Overall, migration remains an ongoing challenge for Spain's population and economy.

Immigration Essay Introduction
This document discusses the history of immigration to Australia. It begins with Australia having a long history as a destination for immigrants and being described as a "nation of immigrants." The earliest immigrants were convicts transported from Britain starting in 1788. Attracting voluntary immigrants was difficult initially, so Britain provided assisted passage to encourage immigration. Immigration peaked between 1851-1860 with around 50,000 people arriving annually, drawn by opportunities in Australia. The document goes on to discuss immigration policy and impacts of immigration on Australia's economy, society, and population.
Campi Bisenzio for Human rights
The city of Campi Bisenzio in Italy promotes human rights and integration of its immigrant population. There are 3,000 Chinese residents, making up the largest foreign community, as well as 1,700 foreign minors of which 70% were born in Italy but do not have citizenship. The city wants equal rights and duties for all residents regardless of race, religion, gender or opinions. It was inspired by international human rights documents and declarations to promote inclusion of immigrants in social life. Actions taken include electing the first foreign city councillor who is Chinese, supporting citizenship rights for immigrant children born in Italy, and celebrating cultural festivals to bring different ethnic groups together.

En sus palabras. Revictimización. Trata Mujeres
This document summarizes the stories of three women who were trafficked to Spain - Hope from Nigeria, Maria from Cameroon, and Blessing from Eastern Europe. All three women cooperated with Spanish authorities by reporting their traffickers, but still faced obstacles in receiving full protection and rights under Spanish law. Their stories highlight gaps between policy and practice, such as a lack of clear criteria for granting residence permits to those who cooperate, and not considering personal circumstances or safety concerns in immigration decisions. While the women showed strength and resilience, they still faced threats, uncertainty over their immigration status, and difficulties integrating or accessing support.

Conference topic
The Human Rights Council (HRC) is responsible for promoting and protecting human rights around the world. This committee will discuss protecting the rights of migrants. Migrants face many challenges, including lack of political and legal protections, violence, inadequate housing, and barriers to education. While migration benefits receiving countries economically, countries of origin can face "brain drain". The committee will consider solutions like international treaties or domestic policies to address migrants' issues and uphold their human rights.
Integration of Refugees Through Sport Implementation Guide
Integration of Refugees Through Sport Implementation GuideInternational Sport and Culture Association (ISCA)
This implementation guide is designed to introduce you to the topic of Integrating Refugees Through Sport by looking at the relevant theory that is the foundation for the area, the present situation – specifically in Europe, as well as the challenges and barriers that NGOs, sports clubs and other organisations or individuals often face when implementing or running an IRTS programme. This guide looks at the issue from the perspective of those involved: the refugees. Therefore, it also includes an overview of the barriers and challenges through the eyes of those displaced, and trying to build a new life in a new land. Potential solutions to these issues are also examined. So get inspired, get active, and help make a positive difference to both your community and people’s lives! #PlayTogether http://irts.isca.org/Italian Citizenship.pptx
More than 80 million people worldwide could likely be eligible for Italian citizenship. Who can be eligible for citizenship? Italian citizenship is based upon the principle of “jure sanguinis”. This means that a child who is born to an Italian father or mother, is also an Italian citizen, no matter where the child is born.
There is no limit to the number of generations but, Italy was unified and become Kingdom of Italy only on March 17, 1861.
Thus, with some exceptions, the oldest Italian ancestor from whom Italian citizenship can be derived must have been a person who acquired Italian citizenship in or after 1861.
However, demonstrating to be 100% Italian for ancestry (i.e. to have an Italian mother or father) is not enough to obtain citizenship. In fact, until 1992 Italian Law did not allow dual citizenship.
Accordingly, citizenship was automatically lost if someone naturalized (i.e. become citizen) of another country.
Migrants, refugees, routes
1) The document discusses illegal migration, defining it as the movement of people across national borders in violation of immigration laws. It describes the different types of illegal migrants and discusses the roles of human smuggling and trafficking.
2) Migrants and refugees are described as coming from unstable countries affected by violence, political unrest, poverty, and human rights abuses. They seek to reach more stable countries in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
3) The main routes taken by migrants and refugees are described, such as crossing the Mediterranean to reach Italy or passing through the Balkan region to enter Greece from the east. Major points of entry into regions like Europe and Southeast Asia are outlined.
Diplo malta 2010
The document discusses internet voting (iVoting) for citizens living abroad. It notes that while voting machines have been criticized, using the letter "I" instead of "e" distinguishes their approach. The debate around expatriates' political rights is new in Europe, having previously focused on foreigners' rights to vote in their country of residence. Large EU emigration is shifting views from residence-based to nationality-based citizenship. The document examines issues around iVoting adoption rates among expatriates from different countries and the similar voting patterns between expatriates and residents on referendum issues.
Xenophobia Talk
Xenophobia and discrimination against immigrants is driven by poverty and lack of economic opportunity rather than genuine security concerns. While countries try to restrict immigration through harsh policies like deportation and detention camps, this fails to address the root causes of migration and exacerbates tensions. A more just and compassionate solution lies in promoting development, poverty alleviation, and political/economic reforms in places that migrants originate from.

Rotterdam
This document discusses the impact of EU legislation on affordable housing in Rotterdam. It describes how EU state aid rules only allow subsidies for housing for socially disadvantaged households, limiting Dutch housing associations. A program in Rotterdam called NPRZ aims to renovate housing and stop segregation in the low-income south bank area. Research showed the biggest affordability problems were for families with two parents and two kids or singles under 65. The document calls for more flexible SGEI rules set by cities and removing the requirement to only help disadvantaged households.
Leipzig
The city of Leipzig had a vacancy rate over 20% 10-15 years ago but now faces challenges providing affordable housing due to rising rents and population growth. Leipzig developed housing policy guidelines to ensure housing for all incomes by maintaining and creating affordable units, supporting families, the elderly, disabled, and low-income households. The guidelines are implemented through city planning, real estate policies, social housing, counseling, district development, legislation, and cooperation. Continued funding for new social housing construction and rent subsidies are needed to maintain housing availability and social cohesion as Leipzig's population increases.
Vienna
Vienna has a population of 1.8 million people, with around 900,000 living in public or subsidized housing. The city's population is forecasted to continue growing. Vienna has two main types of social housing: public flats owned and maintained by the city, and subsidized housing construction that builds around 7,000 dwellings per year on average. Ensuring adequate social housing is an ongoing challenge due to factors like population growth, refugees, economic crises, and more people living alone. Initiatives include continuing to construct 7,000 subsidized flats per year and 4,000 public flats over the next 4 years, as well as maintaining wide eligibility criteria to promote social diversity.
Barcelona
The document summarizes housing policies and programs in Barcelona, Spain. It provides statistics on housing demand, including over 53,000 applicants for subsidized housing and 1,000 homeless individuals. It also details the city's public housing stock, which makes up only 2% of the total housing, and efforts to increase the social housing stock through new construction, empty home acquisition, and rehabilitation. The city aims to advance the conception of housing as a citizen right through these measures and ensuring availability of affordable public and private housing options.
City of helsinki
The document summarizes Helsinki's responses to irregular immigrants. It notes that 620,000 people live in Helsinki, including 75,500 born abroad and 78,500 who speak a non-Finnish or Swedish language. Helsinki has provided various social and health services to irregular immigrants over the years, including 24/7 emergency social services since 2007, food banks since the early 1990s, and the Hirundo Day Center for beggars. More recently since 2013, services have included emergency health care, prenatal care, vaccination programs, and living allowances from social services in emergency cases. Child welfare services also assess and provide open or custodial care to children as needed.
City of utrecht human rights first, presentation barcelona 16 oktober 14
This document discusses the city of Utrecht's commitment to human rights for destitute immigrants living without shelter in the suburbs. It outlines the city's strategic approach which includes: [1] Providing structural shelter to uphold public order and safety as well as human rights commitments; [2] Providing shelter informally to reduce suffering and address needs on a case-by-case basis; [3] Working to legalize immigrants' status and reconnect them rather than leave them in illegality or on the street. The document also references international human rights treaties and directives that bind governments, and advocates forming alliances to establish jurisprudence supporting hidden agendas to shelter, feed and provide basic needs for undocumented migrants
