From 12 to 16 May 2025, ALDA took part in the latest consortium meeting of the AMIL Project, held in Athens, actively contributing to a pivotal phase of the initiative: consolidating stakeholder engagement for fair and inclusive labour market integration across the EU and beyond.
The meeting marked a significant milestone for the Community of Interest, Capacity Building and Advocacy for Labour Market Integration in the EU and Beyond – AMIL Project. ALDA led an interactive session dedicated to equipping stakeholders with practical tools and methodologies to promote equitable access to employment for migrant communities and Third Country Nationals (TCNs). Throughout the session, project partners exchanged innovative ideas, highlighting the crucial role of inclusive, multi-actor approaches in supporting labour integration.
Empowering Stakeholders through Training and Collaboration
Looking ahead, ALDA will coordinate a series of in-person training sessions and international webinars, designed to strengthen stakeholders’ capacities and offer hands-on strategies for inclusive migrant labour integration. These activities will also serve to reinforce the AMIL Community of Interest (CoI)—a collaborative platform that brings together EU stakeholders committed to sustainable and effective integration practices.
The AMIL project builds on the foundations of the Migrant Economic Integration Cluster (MEIC) model, initially developed under the previous LIME project. While fostering local partnerships in Greece and Cyprus, the project aims to amplify its reach at regional and European levels, advocating for integrated services and inclusive policies that will extend well beyond the project’s formal duration.
ALDA’s Leadership within the AMIL Project
As leader of Work Package 4, ALDA focuses on disseminating the MEIC model, engaging stakeholders, and delivering capacity building actions. Thanks to its broad network of local authorities, civil society organisations, and grassroots actors operating in over 40 countries, ALDA plays a crucial role in ensuring the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and good practices across diverse contexts.
The Community of Interest (CoI) is at the heart of this process. It gathers local authorities, NGOs, training institutions, and migrant-led organisations to jointly develop sustainable, co-created solutions. Members of the CoI benefit from shared tools, joint learning opportunities, and an active role in shaping future integration models.
Join the AMIL Community of Interest (CoI) to collaborate, learn, and contribute to building a more inclusive labour market across Europe.
