SUMMARY:Intercultural Regions: Improving Access to Services
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to invite you to a webinar on the ways in which regions can improve the accessibility of public services for better integration policies and practices with insights from IOM and the Council of Europe. \nRegional and local authorities are at the forefront when it comes to addressing integration needs in practice. The Covid-19 pandemic has strongly tested systems in place\, revealing tremendous needs but also the resourcefulness which exists at local and regional levels. This shows how essential it is to create opportunities for structured and meaningful mutual learning on integration in order to enable regional and local authorities to share good practices and improve policies and practices. \nTo facilitate these exchanges\, AER and the Council of Europe have launched the Intercultural Regions Network\, chaired by Oriol Amorós\, Secretary of Equality\, Migration and Citizenship for the Government of Catalonia. The network provides support for regions to design\, implement and evaluate diversity and inclusion strategies. \nDuring this webinar\, Dominik Zenner\, Senior Migration Health Advisor\, IOM Regional Office for the European Economic Area\, the European Union and NATO\, will share the experience of IOM on improving the accessibility of public services for third-country nationals. He will highlight the importance of access to health services\, an issue which has become particularly salient with the COVID-19 crisis. Irena Guidikova\, Head of Division\, Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Programmes\, Council of Europe will explain how using an intercultural approach to providing public services dramatically changes the quality and efficiency of services. She will share implementation examples from around Europe. \nSpeakers: \n\nOriol Amorós\, Chair of the Intercultural Regions Network\, Secretary of Equality\, Migration and Citizenship for the Government of Catalonia.\nDominik Zenner\, Senior Migration Health Advisor\, IOM Regional Office for the European Economic Area\, the European Union and NATO\nIrena Guidikova\, Head of Division\, Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Programmes\, Council of Europe\nNuria Diez Guardia\, Policy Officer\, European Commission Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs\, Unit C2 – Legal Pathways and Integration.\n\nModerator: Johanna Pacevicius\, Coordinator Policy & Knowledge Transfer AER \n  \nThis webinar is organised in the context of Includ-EU\, an EU-funded project which contributes to building more inclusive and cohesive European societies by enhancing knowledge\, driving innovation and stimulating cooperation between local and regional authorities in the European Union. \nThis event will be recorded.
