Integrating Cities Conference IV
22/02/2010 London, United Kingdom

Summary

The Integrating Cities process continues in 2010 with the fourth conference in the series, Towards a shared vision for migrant integration in European cities, taking place in London’s City Hall on 22 February

Description

The conference will explore the shared vision that leaders of Europe’s big cities have on immigrant integration. Political highlights will include a ‘Mayors Debate’ on the theme, and the launch of the ‘Integrating Cities Charter’, which will underline the commitment and leadership of Europe’s cities in addressing migrant integration through their roles as policymakers, service providers, buyers of good and services and employers.

The event will also feature a workshop discussion on findings from the Diversity and Equality in European Cities (DIVE) project, a joint project by the Migration Policy Group, Ethics etc and EUROCITIES, as well as other discussions on current issues related to challenges of integrating migrants in the context of the economic downturn.

Co-hosted by the Mayor of London, EUROCITIES and the European Commission, the conference will gather European mayors, representatives of the Commission, service providers, academics, refugee and migrant communities and private sector organisations from across Europe to debate the integration of migrants in urban areas.

The INTEGRATING CITIES conference series is based on a partnership between EUROCITIES and the European Commission’s Directorate-General Justice, Freedom and Security on promoting the local implementation of the Common Basic Principles on Integration.
