Our multi-stakeholder regional platform is composed of
International organisations (ex. IOM Spain, Spanish Red Cross)
Labour unions and cooperatives (ex. Comisiones Obreras CCOO, UGT Aragón, Celtiberia Digital Microcoop-CLM)
Religious or faith-based organisations (ex. local parish members, Diocesan Delegation for Migration, Cáritas Teruel)
Activities
In addition to facilitating needs-driven training, four regional multistakeholder roundtables will be organised in Teruel to encourage participation and cooperation between local actors in the field of orientation/integration for newcomers as well as to:
Map ongoing orientation actions for newcomers within the region, including how such actions are funded
Identify gaps in current provision and map the assets and capacities that could support actions to address them, with a specific focus on the active role of local communities
Assess existing national, regional and/or local welcome and integration strategies and policies
Regional cooperation platform for migrant & refugee integration in Teruel
Pilot Actions
We believe that local communities are at the heart of creating welcoming environments in which newcomers can settle and thrive. Under the Share SIRA project, our 10 selected pilot actions will run during 10 months and put communities at the centre of innovative activities and initiatives to support the social orientation and early integration needs of newcomers living in rural areas. They will touch upon a wide range of themes and approaches including: access to banking services, access to mental and reproductive health, access to the labour market, mentorship, entrepreneurship, language acquisition, and intercultural exchanges with the local community through sports, cultural activities, outings, gastronomy and farming.
