URGENT was designed to tackle the growing fear of immigration, which feeds Euroscepticism attitudes. The project aims to use a bottom-up approach to raise local awareness on the urgent need to establish new connections among inhabitants of marginalized neighbourhoods and those of central areas. In today’s Europe, we are reaching alarming levels of urban fragmentation, inequality, and structural socio-spatial divisions within our cities, feeding extremism and radicalization. Most vulnerable people are often bound to concentrate in disadvantaged areas where social exclusion and deprivation usually overlap with multi-ethnicity, which further challenges social cohesion.
- Creating spaces of discussion and mutual learning among citizens from different socio-cultural backgrounds and different countries of Europe;
- Fostering active citizenship and co-creation of policies and services in local societies, particularly for citizens who are often excluded from the decision-making processes;
- Enhancing the capacity of local institutions to be “multipliers” in their communities to engage a wide range of stakeholders;
- Providing a new impetus to the EU enlargement process, contributing to the establishment of a long-lasting thematic network of cities that are strongly active and committed as key players in Europe.
