The H2020 Whole-COMM project held its final event, the Final Conference “Empowering small localities in the governance of asylum. From crisis to community integration”. Hosted by the European Committee of the Regions on May 17th, 2024 in Brussels, this conference gathered policymakers, journalists, and researchers invested in enhancing migrant integration strategies in small localities across Europe.
With over 50 in-person participants, during the half-day event we discussed the key findings of the projects, as well as practical recommendations for national and European policymakers. The event featured representatives of the European Commission, and of the European Committee of the Regions’ Cities and Regions for Integration of Migrants Initiative. Furthermore, the Conference fostered dialogue among stakeholders from various H2020 funded projects, such as WELCOMING SPACES, ReROOT, and MATILDE, and other international networks and organizations each offering unique insights into migrant integration dynamics in small towns and rural areas.
