New Whole-COMM report

The Whole-COMM project, in which the Migration Policy Group is a partner, has published a comparative report on attitudes, intergroup relations, and migrant integration experiences in small- and medium-sized towns and rural areas. The findings reveal a lack of intergroup interactions, but also shed light on the positive impact of work, education, and civil society activities in facilitating language skills, social networks, and better opportunities for migrants. Places that foster encounters and structured interactions, such as civil society initiatives, play a crucial role in promoting integration. While positive attitudes toward migrants exist, building meaningful relationships remains a challenge, particularly beyond volunteer efforts.
