The 1st Meeting on Migrant Integration Challenges and Policies: An Atlantic vision will take place on 17 January 2025 at the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), Vila Real.
Immigration is expanding in Europe. Measured through employment and education, the integration of migrants into European communities has been improving (OECD, 2023). It is assumed that the integration of migrants is important for the economy, peace and the development of people and places and, in addition, the feeling of connection and belonging constitutes basic human rights, contributing to social justice and equity (Litevsky, et al, 2023). However, there are various models of integration that involve different forms and combinations of cultural maintenance, cultural adaptation and cultural convergence. The aim of this first meeting is to gather knowledge that reports, analyses and evaluates evidence of migrant integration in Portugal. Follow-up meetings will take place in the spring and summer of 2025, first with the aim of gathering empirical evidence, and then with a focus on policy discussion.
