ended

The 2incING project aims to promote and support refugee and migrant participation in the design and implementation of integration and related policies at local, regional, national and European level. The project is a partnership of 4 CSOs (Croatia, Greece, Malta and Netherlands), 1 alliance (Belgium) and 1 university (Netherlands), which gives a holistic multidisciplinary approach to the topic. The project is divided into 5 work packages focused on educational activities that are followed up with concrete tasks which will produce concrete policy tools for advocating refugee and migrants inclusion in policy making processes. The approach of the project is based on the creation of knowledge based on experience. The project will produce 4 desk research on active refugee and migrant advocates (for each national context), 1 interactive map of refugee and migrant advocates, 12 national educational workshops for refugees and migrants (120 participants), 1 international online lecture on innovative tools (G100 conference) to create dialogue among refugees/migrants and decision makers (60 participants), 4 national G100 conferences (200 participants), 4 national Advocacy Academy workshops for decision/policy makers (60 participants), 1 train the trainers workshop (40 participants), 4 Steering Committees of refugee and migrant advocates (40 participants), 4 national Shadow Reports on the impact of the integration policy, 8 national policy meetings between refugees/migrants and decision/policy makers (160 participants) and 1 international conference (60 participants). The project campaign will produce 20 national videos/teasers, 4 final videos and 8 infographics on the policy making process.
