Each partner region will develop an integration action focused on an area or dimension identified through the integration indicators, except Skåne that implements a specific innovative action focusing on health communication. This will provide an opportunity to test an innovative practice to promote social integration and provide lessons learnt to all partners. The integration actions will use the Evaluation Framework developed under the project in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluations phases.
In addition, this section will provide a database of practices and experiences collected not only from REGIN partner regions but also other regional authorities from different European countries. An easy search and filter tool will be developed based on the defined evaluation criteria. The database will be complemented with a visual mapping of the practices, to facilitate the search and to promote the use of this Integration Lab.
Collection of regional integration practices
In order to build the Integration Lab database and mapping, the REGIN Project is collecting examples of integration practices in which regional authorities are involved, either directly (e.g. leader, active partner, coordinating role…) or indirectly (e.g. support, funding, advisory role…).
As the database aims to be a tool for mutual learning and sharing with a focus on innovative practices, challenges faced and lessons learnt, we are particularly interested in reading in your contributions about how you addressed concrete issues faced as part of integration practices at regional level and the solutions you found to overcome them.
Please click HERE to fill-in our template and share examples of regional integration practices. You may complete the information in the following languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Portuguese. You may also refer to our guidelines and glossary to facilitate the sharing of relevant information.
The practices collected will undergo a preliminary analysis and selection. As a second stage, the project coordinators may wish to contact the relevant person responsible for the practices in order to complete a survey questionnaire which will help our team of researchers to analyse and categorise the practice for the database.
