ACIT National dialogue on access to citizenship and its impact on immigration integration 15/01/2013 Dublin, Ireland

Summary

In the framwork of the ACIT project, a national stakeholder dialogue jointly organised with the Immigrant Council of Ireland will take place in Dublin.

Description

Immigrant Council of Ireland (1)The main goals of the ACIT project are to explore the links between acquisition of nationality and the integration processes and to encourage effective measures for facilitating immigrants’ access to citizenship in the EU.

ACIT collects and compares available national and international evidence on how acquiring citizenship enhances immigrants’ participation in society and the democratic process. It analyses indicators to reveal the hidden links between citizenship and integration policies within EU competence, including anti-discrimination, family reunion and long-term residence.

Because of its large immigrant and foreign populations, Estonia has been selected for an in-depth ACIT case study.
