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.

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

Our panel closes with moderator @monderram of @CREMEatAston comparing best practices from the MILE project and local projects shared by speakers and participants.
Main takeaway?
We need to find ways to improve the inclusion of migrants, from targeted support to compensation!

Language can be a really large barrier to integration.
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.
