UNAoC / IOM Online Community on Migration and Integration
The Migration program of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) aims at improving integration and cohabitation between migrants and host societies, with the purpose of improving cooperation among peoples of different cultures and countering extremism. As the leading international organization for migration, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits both migrants and society.
The two organizations are working in partnership on the establishment of an Online Community on Migration and Integration. The website will profile positive experiences of integration of migrants around the world and highlight good practices implemented by a variety of stakeholders, with the aim of encouraging replication of these practices and further involvement of all.
We are in the process of collecting good practices and practical initiatives related to socio-economic, legal/political and cultural integration, implemented by a variety of stakeholders (national and local governments, international and regional organizations, civil society organizations, academic institutions, the private sector, and the media).
We invite Integration Practitioners to submit good practices in integration in order for them to be posted on the online community website. This will offer increased visibility to their initiatives and will facilitate opportunities for mutual learning and possible replication of such practices globally.
Please read the criteria for eligibility and submit your practice by filling the practice submission form. Integration practitioners and experts also have the possibility to submit information on their organization with the practitioner submission form:
The website will be launched at the third Global Forum of the Alliance of Civilizations, on May 28th in Rio de Janeiro.
