Descrizione del progetto
Il modo in cui i migranti rivitalizzano l’integrazione
Migranti e rifugiati appena arrivati possono svolgere un ruolo importante nel rivitalizzare aree europee in contrazione integrandosi adeguatamente. Negli Stati membri dell’UE, numerosi paesi o cittadine sono in declino a causa di una vasta gamma di ragioni. In molti di questi, la lacuna provocata dal cambiamento demografico attrae migranti extra-UE che si integrano positivamente e forniscono nuove prospettive nell’area in declino. Questi esempi di «spazi di accoglienza» possono rappresentare una soluzione sia per supportare l’integrazione dei migranti che per favorire la rivitalizzazione di aree in declino. Il progetto WelcomingSpaces, finanziato dall’UE, dirigerà la ricerca verso due obiettivi: le modalità per contribuire alla rivitalizzazione di aree in contrazione tramite un’integrazione di migranti extra-UE di successo e le nuove forme di interazione governo-cittadini-migranti.
Obiettivo
This proposal aims at ‘rethinking’ ways forward in creating inclusive space (see OECD 2016) in such a way that it will contributed to the revitalisation of these places and the successful integration of migrants in demographically and economically shrinking areas.
WELCOMING SPACES aims to search for new ways to merge two policy challenges: how to contribute to the revitalisation of shrinking areas while also offering space for the successful integration of NON-EU migrants in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (‘leaving no one behind’). new types of government-citizen-migrant relations. Our point of departure are existing examples of places of ‘welcoming spaces’ which do exist in some places, but often remain invisible and dispersed. Examples of small towns and villages offsetting declining population by attracting non-EUinternational migrants are found in various European counties in Italy, Spain, but also Germany, the Netherlands and even Poland. Such initiatives to create ‘welcoming spaces’ and initiating new types of government-citizen-migrant engagement are often citizen-based, but can equally be the outcome of initiatives by governments, NGOs or business, or they can be migrant-based. Going against the current of ‘anti-migration’, most initiatives are highly contested. Their success seems to depend on a combination of collective action, multi-stakeholder collaboration and institutional innovations. Given the local or regional scale of most of these initiatives, the dispersion in space and political sensitivity, much of what is happening around these ‘welcoming spaces’ remains under the radar. The possibilities for upscaling such initiatives are hence underexplored. The programme aims to answer the following question: How to achieve inclusive and sustainable development in shrinking regions, contributing to revitalisation while providing opportunities for the successful integration of non-EU migrants?
