⭐#CREMEIN2023 🔈 | On the 31st October, World Cities Day 🌎, we hosted a collaborative learning event for the @project_MILE with 🤝 project partners @ACHintegrates, @BhamCityCouncil, and the migrant consultative group. Check out the highlights below ⬇️ #InclusiveCities

💭#CREMEinConversation Read our latest blog written by our PhD researcher Nicolle Mudzongo, focused on the MILE: Co-creating Inclusive Cities—The Birmingham Experience ! 👏 Check it out here - bit.ly/3TxsV0W

Today is #InternationalMigrantsDay and World Arabic Language Day. Let's try and create more welcoming and inclusive societies by listening to each other and sharing our cultures and languages! 📰Our latest newsletter: shorturl.at/gnzFM

🎊Come join MILE partners for this event with @KudwaBcn on 15 December in Barcelona to celebrate political participation for all! You'll hear from those who have experienced forced displacement and engaged in political participation structures. 📢

Some of the many ideas from today's SHAPE event: ❄️ Those with decision-making power need to recognise migrants as skilled individuals and equals. ❄️Consultation is not participation. Co-creation is. ❄️ Participation starts with trust - which needs to be built at all ages.

We are in Stuttgart, Germany, today for the SHAPE project's Pan-European Conference on "Strengthening Participatory Governance of Migration and Integration Policies".🌐 Looking forward to learning from each other's experiences as two EU-funded projects!

The MILE project might officially soon be coming to an end, but our collaboration and network is not! We're using these last weeks of 2023 to brainstorm what more we can do together with migrant communities, cities and researchers to promote participation and inclusion. 🌱

Lack of information and resources - including funding - is a key obstacle to meaningful civic & political participation for New Europeans. Read our latest report here for recommendations on how to overcome this and more obstacles: bit.ly/3tbbAjn

Main takeaway? We need to find ways to improve the inclusion of migrants, from targeted support to compensation!

Day 2 of the MILE project final event! Project Coordinator Vanessa Cotterell welcomes participants to our Day Two conference and thanks everyone involved in making cities across Europe more inclusive for migrants!

Tamara Stojanovic from @StadMechelen talks about ways to try and integrate multilingual dimensions into local administration in the face of strict language laws in Belgium.
