The integration and inclusion of migrants are at the forefront of Eurodiaconia and its members’ organisational priorities.
Through producing a briefing for Members on the European Commission’s Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion 2021- 2027 we hope that our network will be encouraged and equipped to establish themselves as key civil society partners in order to push for a robust implementation of the Action Plan at a national level.
Over the past 19-months, we have witnessed our migrant communities leading the way in our frontline response to COVID-19 through many key service positions. However, the pandemic has also shown that although migrants contribute massively to the EU economy, they continue to disproportionately experience a variety of challenges, barriers and discrimination – such as access to quality employment and integration into the labour market.
