SUMMARY:Join AER-Includ-EU Workshop in Cluj Napoca or Online! - Cross-sectoral\, Multistakeholder Collaboration for Inclusion
DESCRIPTION: An exciting opportunity for AER members to explore the potential of cross-sectoral collaboration and co-design to create better integration policies and practices.  \nIn the context of the Includ-EU* project\, co-financed by AMIF programme of the European Union\, AER is organising a workshop looking at cross-sectoral collaboration\, co-design and co-management for better integration and inclusion: What are the policies and practices which enable the much sought-after multistakeholder collaboration? What is the role of local and regional authorities in this Context? \nWhole-of-Society Approach. Cross-sectoral\, Multistakeholder Collaboration for Inclusion.\nOn the side of administrations or non-governmental organisations\, understanding the circumstances and needs of migrants to provide adequate services can prove a daunting exercise. This leads to considerable frustration\, for users and for organisations involved in the integration process. \nIn Cluj-Napoca\, the one-stop shop for migrants emerged as a response to this need\, expressed both by migrants and authorities. One-stop shops are services designed following a holistic approach: concentrating services in one location can help newcomers understand what services are available and improve collaboration between providers.  \nAs part of the agenda\, the AER looks forward to connecting with members\, particularly our wide Romanian membership to strengthen the relationships and build new multi-stakeholder networks. This will be an opportunity for members to exchange ideas\, identify common challenges and deepen relations with the AER Secretariat. At the same time\, the AER will work to better understand the needs and expectations of its members and tailor its services and activities accordingly. \nWith that in mind\, the AER Secretariat proposes to launch a Ukraine Focus Group at this event. The aim is to provide tailored\, needs-based support to new Ukrainian members by creating a platform for direct region-to-region dialogue; a place where Ukrainian regions can request support from AER regions and partners directly. In tandem\, the Focus Group will onboard these Ukrainian regions into AER’s structures\, open new networks to them\, and build capacity for these regions over the longer-term. \nIf you and your region would like to attend the event\, please fill in this registration form and confirm your participation to a.comacchio@aer.eu and j.sammon@aer.eu. Don’t hesitate to contact us with additional questions about the programme. \nSeparate invitations for AER members and partners will shortly follow for the first meeting of AER’s Ukraine Focus Group\, which will take place during this event. \nRegistrations for the onsite event are now closed\,  but you can \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Live-Streaming\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen? Tuesday 28.03 | 14:00-15:45 \n\n\n\n\n\nThe AER invites all regions and stakeholders to join online the live-streamed panel discussion on“What are the enabling factors for cross-sectoral collaboration? What is the role of local and regional authorities? Challenges and good practices.”\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*Includ-EU facilitates transnational knowledge and experience sharing to build more inclusive and cohesive European societies. The project develops cooperation between local and regional authorities from Greece\, Italy\, the Netherlands\, Romania\, Slovenia and Spain. Targeted exchanges generate actionable learning\, which leads to improved integration policies and practices.

SUMMARY:EU-Belong Joint Event with COR - Empowering Regions and Cities in Migrant Integration Governance
DESCRIPTION:​On 28 March 2023\, the Cities and Regions for Integration of Migrants network of the European Committee of the Regions will celebrate the conference “Empowering regions and cities in migrant integration governance.”​ \nOrganised in cooperation with the Assembly of European Regions (AER) and Eurac Research and the Brussels Interdisciplinary Research centre on Migration and Minorities (BIRMM) & Brussels School of Governance at Vrije Universiteit Brussel\, the conference will focus on the multi-level coordination and intercultural approach to the integration of migrants and refugees in cities and regions across Europe. \nThe conference will take place on Tuesday\, 28 March 2023\, from 10:00 to 12:30 and from 14:30 to 17:30 at the European Committee of the Regions\, Rue Belliard 99-101\, Brussels\, room JDE 51. Online participation will be possible via Interactio. \nTo attend the conference\, in person or online\, please fill in the registration form here. \nTake a look at the agenda!\nBuilding intercultural and inclusive regions\nWithin this event\, the AER is preparing a capacity-building session on Intercultural Regions: Embracing Diversity\, Fostering Equal Opportunities in close cooperation with the European Committee of the Regions and the Council of Europe.  \nThe session will aim at addressing the current challenges of migrant integration in our regions and cities\, and discuss the benefits of applying an intercultural approach to foster a sense of belonging.  \nThe intercultural approach as understood by the Council of Europe\, and implemented by its Intercultural Cities Programme\, aims at harnessing the benefits of diversity as a central aspect of building more inclusive\, prosperous and democratic societies. This requires an intercultural approach to integration and joined-up action across all levels of government and actors\, based on the principles of equal opportunities\, recognition of diversity\, and positive interaction between people from different origins.  \nRegional and local authorities play a vital role in responding to the increasing diversity of our communities\, delivering public policies and services that promote the inclusion of migrants and refugees\, intercultural interaction and social cohesion.  \nThe Assembly of European Regions has played a fundamental role in bringing the intercultural approach to European regional integration\, thanks to the establishment in 2019 of the Intercultural Regions Network (IRN)\, and the development and implementation of the AMIF-funded project EU-Belong: Intercultural Integration of Migrants in Europe’s Regions\, which aims at improving the socio-economic inclusion of migrants at the regional level through the development of intercultural integration strategies. During this session\, the main outcomes and policy tools developed by this European project so far will be presented.
