Aims at setting up transnational cooperation networks to exchange best practices in the field of immigrants’ integration. The project will contribute to increase the collaboration between public entities, NGOs and associations. 

On the other, it aims at identifying the most effective policy approaches in guaranteeing an appropriate response to integration needs. In particular, the reinforcement and development of consultation mechanisms at a local and regional level represents the most suitable way to maintain a dialogue between immigrants and hosting communities, as well as with those institutions and other stakeholders involved in the integration process.

Information on regional and national policies and best practices on the field represent a useful knowledge base to support both policy makers developing integration policies and other related actors. The project will create a framework for a better integration of immigrants and a set of recommendations for the implementation of the most valuable findings to different contexts.

Furthermore, ROUTES will be implementing its findings to a concrete test case to produce evidence of the benefits of the project results, increasing the potential for dissemination.ROUTES is an EU funded project under the INTI programme for preparatory actions promoting the integration in the EU member states of people who are not citizens of the EU.
