Integration Otherwise | Inspiration Kit
The Integration Otherwise Inspiration Kit targets a broad audience of local policy-makers and civil society organisations working within arrival infrastructures. Within the overarching literature on social infrastructures, migration research has increasingly focused on arrival infrastructures, as parts of the urban fabric with which newcomers get entangled upon arrival.

The ReROOT project, starting from ethnographic (action) research conducted in nine sites in Europe, including the UK and Turkey, studies different instances of arrival infrastructuring work, bringing together formal, informal and non-formal actors that ‘infrastructure’ arrival and ‘integration’ already in the field, albeit not without contradiction or ambiguity.

Following two years of fieldwork, the ReROOT project is now co-producing an inspiration kit, with the field researchers and local actors, of which the ambition is to shed light on the relevance of arrival infrastructures and offer tools for practitioners to explore this infrastructuring work and activate themselves as part of enabling arrival environments.
