Project to integrate regular migrants launched

A project for the integration of third country nationals, aimed at integrating regular migrants, has been launched by the Malta European Mobility.

Financed by the European Fund for the Integration of Third-Country Nationals, which is part of the European Union Programme Agency, the project emphasises the need of solidarity to promote social and economic development in Malta and beyond.

The main aim of the project, Solid, is to broaden the idea that cooperation between Malta and third countries is possible to help in the integration of regular migrants.

It is to serve as a model for the development of integration politics brought forward by the European Union towards third countries.

Activities in the project, which will be spread over three months, will address the possible benefits of integration of regular migrants in Malta. It focuses mainly on the socio-cultural aspect as well as the personal dimensions of integration and the social interactions of participants from third countries. To reach this aim a number of seminars and conferences are going to be organised in the coming weeks.

The first activity is a conference which will bring together Maltese and regular migrants to discuss the main challenges ahead and how to reap the greatest benefits out of immigrant integration.

This project is being managed by Malta European Mobility which together with Fondazzjoni Temi Zammit and the Kirkop Local Council will work to support integration.
