The European Committee of the Regions will host a Share SIRA Transnational Conference on ‘Strengthening and Expanding Social Orientation & Integration for Newcomers in Rural Areas’. This one-day event is organized by the Share Network, the International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC) Europe and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The conference will present the main results and the lessons learned from the AMIF-funded SIRA project, which has piloted innovative integration actions and used multi-stakeholder approaches to strengthen migrant & refugee inclusion in 10 rural regions in France, Greece, Poland and Spain in 2021-2022.
The aim of the conference is to explore the conditions for successful social orientation and integration in small and rural communities, and to highlight inspiring bottom-up practices and link them to research and policy frameworks. It will bring together representatives from EU institutions, national, regional and local authorities, civil society and refugee/migrant-led organisations, academia, the private sector and grassroots stakeholders to further discuss how to promote the participation of communities and newcomers, as well as to strengthen synergies between integration and rural development strategies.

Diversity of Migrant Women – How to improve labour market integration of migrant women?
European Migration Network
25 November 2022
Women account for around 50 per cent of migrants in Finland. Migrant women form a diverse group having different reasons for migrating and different personal attributes: women arrive to Finland as family migrants, labour migrants, students, asylum seekers, refugees, and beneficiaries of temporary protection. Despite of their different backgrounds, migrant women seem to face the same obstacle: it is challenging to gain access to the Finnish labour market. One of the key questions of the integration policies in Finland is how to guide migrant women towards integration services and the labour market more effectively. EMN Finland’s national conference aims to tackle abovementioned issues of employment of migrant women and gain new insights from national and international experts.
