Caritas Europa issued a new publication Welcome – Migrants make Europe stronger in December 2016, which casts the spotlight on 'barriers' that prevent millions of migrants from becoming full-fledged members of the European societies in which they live. These barriers are robbing migrants of their dignity and Europe of their potential contributions to further boost Europe’s social, cultural and economic score. Caritas Europa demonstrates that these barriers can be overcome. To prove this the publication includes 21 best practices from 13 countries across Europe. In addition, the publication contains a series of specific recommendations targeting each barrier and an exhaustive list of recommendations to national governments aiming at breaking down these barriers. Finally, the report also includes an assessment of the tensions that appear when comparing EU policies on integration to the positions of the Council of Europe and to those of Caritas Europa. These findings should help decision-makers to find ways to ease these tensions and contribute to building an inclusive and prosperous Europe. Caritas Europa identified 3 types of barriers that delay and, sometimes, renders impossible migrants’ integration: + Cultural: limited acceptance by and limited interaction with the receiving communities. |
