Objectives of the project are:
1) to build awareness of relevant EU values, policy and funding opportunities for the integration of migrants
2) to ensure that the L/R dimension is taken into proper account at the EU level in the development of integration strategies;
3) to create effective networking activities of R/L stakeholders at EU level in order to:
a) provide en information source for EU policy makers;
b) exchange good policies, projects and experiences;
c) promote trans-national projects.
On the basis of ERLAI´s experience - an already existing Brussels based informal network of regions, cities and local authorities from 6 EU Member States, active since October 2003 and engaged in asylum and immigration issues - the project intends to promote a wider transnational partnership representing a platform for dialogue on integration of migrants between European institutions, public authorities at all levels and representatives of civil society and migrant associations.
