The specific objectives of the project D.I.S.Co.R.S.I. Migranti are
- to improve the hosting and integration services for migrants living in Piedmont through research / action interventions in the three European regions, identifying good practices and particularly innovative service models that will lead to Piedmont’s concrete experimentation of new methodologies.
- to promote the strengthening and active role of migrant associations in Piedmont, and their dialogue with local actors providing hosting and integration services, as well as their role in facilitating access to services by their respective Associative members (single associates and their families)
- to promote the emergence of exchange and knowledge pathways between migrant associations in Piedmont and organized migrant communities in France and Spain, whose relations will be promoted and facilitated through the existence of historical relationships between co-ordination of associations of the world of international cooperation (COP, RESACOOP, Lafede.cat e SOS Racisme)
- To promote the networking of the relationship between the three regions involved in international cooperation activities (carried out by NGOs, regional and local authorities) with the countries of origin of the most significant migrant communities (for Piedmont, in particular Morocco, Albania, Senegal, Peru) with the aim to launch a dialogue about ongoing processes (incoming and outgoing flows) as well as models of enhancement of the professional and training skills belonging to migrants.
