PPIPROJECT

Objectives

The specific objectives of the Action are to accompany vulnerable people arriving in Italy and France via HCs towards their full and effective social, cultural and economic integration in the EU society thought the implementation of a wide range of pre-departure and post-arrival activities, and to set the stage for durable integration practices in private and resettlement schemes. This objective will be reached sharing and comparing the achievements of the HCs experiences of France and Italy with other practices coming from UK so to identify lessons to be disseminated at EU level.    

Diaconia Valdese (DV), together with the Italian Federation of the Evangelical Churches (FCEI) in Italy, and the Protestant Federation of France (FEP) in France, starting from these experiences that represent in the current EU context a valid example of private sponsorship fully bottom-up financed and managed by civil society actors, wants to promote safe and durable integration practices of vulnerable forced migrants who have been resettled from outside the EU. 

Beneficiaries

Short-term beneficiaries are 450 vulnerable forced migrants who will be resettled in Italy and France according to the Protocols signed, but also local host communities and key public services providers. Medium-term beneficiaries are the relevant actors (institutional ones and practitioners) who are made aware of the project results. Long-term beneficiaries will be all the 750 people expected to arrive to Europe via the HCs agreements signed so far, but also all those migrants who across Europe are going to be hosted relying on homogenous reinforced inclusion practices, and similarly all the European society which will be exposed to a more durable model of integration.
