Break

FOCUS has identified four key areas for additional investment and action to improve the integration of newcomers, and particularly, of those seeking international protection:
<ul>
<li>Empowering and engaging both newcomers and the receiving community in the integration process;</li>
<li>Enhancing Mental Health and Psychosocial Support;</li>
<li>Reinforcing multistakeholder partnerships and coordination for successful integration;</li>
<li>Fostering a participatory and co-creative approach to integration</li>
</ul>
In this closing roundtable, we would like to reflect on policies and investments that could be undertaken in one or more of these areas (according to their experience and/or priorities) to better support newcomers&rsquo; integration and inclusive societies.
We will address EU policies in areas such as intergroup contact and trust, specific needs and potential of migrant women, funding and programming and partnerships for migrant inclusion.
