The SHAPE project - SHaring Actions for the Participation and Empowerment of migrant communities and Local Authorities - funded by the European fund AMIF aims to foster the participation of people with a migratory background in democratic processes and in the design and implementation of integration policies at local, national and European level.
The action targets 3 states, so-called border states Italy, Hungary and Croatia, where public opinion appears particularly negative towards migrants and 2 leading states regarding migrants' participation in the democratic process, Germany and Portugal.
Objectives
The project is willing to encourage the participation of people with a migratory background and migrant civil socitey organizations (CSOs) in democratic processes and in the design and implementation of integration policies at local, national and community level of migrant communities.
Specifically, the project aims to:
- Strengthen integration policies and promote dialogue between local authorities and migrant communities;
-Bring together citizens with a migratory background, local authorities and policy-makers to co-design pilot projects aimed at triggering a participatory process at the local level, while at the same time creating a structured and formalised method of consultation for local policies in different fields;
- Raise citizens' awareness in Italy, Hungary, Croatia, Germany and Portugal about the positive contribution of migrant communities to EU societies.
