• Consultation mechanisms at local and regional level are the most effective ways to maintain a
dialogue between immigrants, hosting communities, public institutions and other stakeholders.
• The project ROUTES aims at setting up transnational cooperation networks to exchange best
practices in the field of immigrants’ integration. The project contributes to increase the
collaboration between public entities, NGOs and immigrant associations, by identifying the most
effective policy approaches to guarantee an appropriate response to integration needs.
• The project has analysed good practices concerning integration policies produced by local
governments and valuable experiences generated by NGOs in 12 European regions. ROUTES
will create a framework for a better integration of immigrants and a set of recommendations for
the implementation of the most valuable findings to different contexts.
• ROUTES is an EU funded project under the INTI programme for preparatory actions promoting
the integration of people who are not citizens of the European Union.
• The final conference will take place on October the 28th
at the Committee of the Regions, in
Brussels.
• Les Halles St Géry will host an exhibition of pictures from all the participant regions from the 4th

practices are making in the main sectors of:
– Housing: is a fundamental component of citizenship as it is also
witnessed by immigration laws in some major EU Member States.

not just to find a position in the labour market, but also as an important
moment of socialization with the hosting culture and practices.

spans from the over-representation of immigrants at lower skills jobs,
where the level of local labour force supply is scarce, to work
discrimination.

the basic types of sanitary assistance provided by the regional
government.

participation in which immigrants play an important role as active
citizens in supporting the inclusion of people that belong to their same
