Title: SOLIDA - Network of municipalities for promotion of immigrants' democratic participation
Summary
The main result of the project is the establishment of the transnational non-profit association named SOLIDA – Networks of Solidarity Based-Towns. The Association has been founded by all partners participating in SOLIDA project. During the entire duration of the project, the partners worked together with the aim to establish the first transnational network of municipalities which will support the initiation of innovative cooperation projects among all members. The partners elaborated the Statute which was officially approved by all participating municipal councils. On 4 December 2018 (last project event), the association was officially constituted and registered. On the same date the members organized the first general assembly of the association. The aim of the association is to support local administration in planning and implementation of inclusive polices, to exchange city-level practices that provide innovative and practical approaches to the social inclusion and integration of migrants, to facilitate the partnerships with other bodies and institutions (Regions, Ministries, EU Institutions and other national and international bodies) and to promote the civic participation of vulnerable groups in city life and to enhance cross-cultural understanding between vulnerable people and the broader community. The association already prepared an action plan for 2019 which is based on organization of conferences and workshops, exchange of staff, development of new project proposal. Besides the constitution of the Association, the project produced some significant results on local administrators, local citizens and immigrants:- local administrators, policy makers and operators working with immigrants improved their knowledge on planning and implementing of inclusive local policies. During the project events, the participants had the opportunity to exchange practice and opinions on solutions and policies though which reinforce the participation of immigrants within local communities. The participants had the opportunity to meet experts, local associations, citizens, public authority and to discuss about new practices, polices and tools to allow immigrants to become active citizens. - through the project the immigrants had the opportunity to discuss their problems and need with local associations, citizens and policy makers and thus stimulate the overall discussion on how to design and implement successful integration policies and actions. Through implemented actions, the participants improved their knowledge on EU initiatives to promote integration on local levels, the policy makers get acquainted with Introductory programmes and work of consultative bodies. Considering that each event was based on an interactive dialogue between local citizens, international participants and migrants, the project contributed to make each local community more inclusive and democratic. 7 countries were involved in the project: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta, Croatia, Greece, Slovenia. The activities involved directly 420 participants while approximately 14.500 citizens were touched indirectly by the project.
