An online interactive session by Maura di Mauro – Intercultural Trainer, DEI & Sustainability Specialist and member of SIETAR Italia
UK time: 17.30-19.00
CET time: 18.30-20.00
SIETAR UK is pleased to invite all Sietarians who are involved in projects concerning Refugees and Asylum Seekers (RAAS) to an event held jointly with the SIETAR Europa SIG for Migration and SIETAR Switzerland.
How, as interculturalists, can we contribute to migrants’ integration, particularly third-country nationals? How can we support the building of intercultural competences so as to facilitate migrants’ integration process? And how can the building of intercultural competences support the inclusion of an intercultural perspective in migrants’ integration policy?
This session will give the opportunity to understand how to include an intercultural perspective in migrants’ integration policy, and to extend participants’ intercultural training toolkits.
During this 90 minute interactive session, the speaker will share the main highlights of one of the recent projects she has worked on: the EU-BELONG project, aimed at improving the socio-economic inclusion and migrants’ sense of belonging.
She will also share the main recommendations and practices synthesized in the handbook “Building Intercultural Competences” developed for regional authorities and local stakeholders. Participants will be actively involved in sharing their training & consultant experiences, and their intercultural practices about migrants’ integration projects.
