ERLAIM FINAL EVENT, Brussels, 15 July 2008

The ERLAIM Partners and the ERLAI Network are happy to invite you to the final event of the Project ´European Regional and Local Authoriites for the Integration of Migrants´ will take place on Tuesday 15th July in Brussels.

The conference has two key aims:

1) To highlight the main results of the project:
A. A comparative analysis of several legal frameworks for the integration of migrants (the responsibilities and competences of local, regional and national actors involved in the decision-making process in Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Spain and United Kingdom).
B. The collection of regional/local integration strategies and projects focusing on the themes of citizenship, participation and political rights, intercultural communication and cultural mediation, minors, women and the gender perspective and public/private partnerships providing services to immigrants.

2) To improve the information flow from the European level down to regional/local policy makers and practitioners on EU policy developments on migration. Speakers from the European Commission, the Committee of the Regions and the Social and Economic Committee will provide participants with valuable information and an in-depth understanding.

Finally, to encourage mutual learning and the exchange of ideas you are warmly invited to attend the buffet lunch at the end of the event which will be an opportunity for networking and informal discussion. All ERLAIM project partners will also be present and available to answer your questions.

We are convinced that this conference will be a useful opportunity to promote a wider transnational partnership.
We truly hope that you will accept this invitation, contributing to the success of our initiative!
