Cities of Sanctuary, Communities of Welcome
An official city policy to welcome those in need builds a community supportive of refugees and new immigrants.
The Living Together collection @ Cities of Migration showcases innovative local practices that promote social inclusion, participation and intercultural dialogue. This includes practices, strategies and initiatives in the following areas:
- social cohesion, equality and nondiscrimination;
- belonging, identity and interaction;
- intercultural dialogue;
- participation and citizenship; and participatory approaches that strengthen engagement between civil society and local government institutions.
The Living Together collection builds on the work of the Open Society Foundations’ At Home inEurope project.
