MigrationWork is a not-for-profit consultancy helping communities, practitioners & policy-makers to respond to migration in ways that move towards integration.
🌍 On #MigrantsDay, we celebrate migrants' vital role & cities' efforts to foster inclusion.
We help local authorities:
✅ Co-design inclusive policies
✅ Innovate in housing, jobs & services
✅ Share knowledge across Europe

Policy makers often see obstacles to co-designing integration strategies. But our UNITES partners see co-design as a unique way for city officers to understand what is going on, to make policies more effective & legitimate & create spaces to talk about friction and conflicts 6/7
