Intercultural Malta: Towards the Achievement of Integration in Malta through the Intercultural Cities Approach is a project being implemented by SOS Malta and is co-funded by the European Fund for the Integration of Third Country Nationals (EIF) 2011.
The project’s main objective is to develop, through the exchange of experience and ideas, recommendations and guidelines for the creation of intercultural cities in Malta that actively promote and enable the integration of third country nationals into Maltese society.
SOS Malta will be holding a Pan-European Conference on good practice of integrating immigrants within society on February 22. The conference will include speakers from European countries who will share their good practice of promoting integration through the Intercultural Cities approach. Key stakeholders will be given the opportunity to learn about different approaches and possibilities for Malta.
A further two workshops will be held with members from Civil Society, Government and Third Country nationals to discuss learning from the Pan-European Conference.
As a result, the project will bring together discussions from the conference and workshops to develop a set of recommendations that can be applied to Maltese cities that wish to explore how they can promote integration and cultural diversity in a positive way within their city or town.
