This two-day conference brings together leading experts on integration issues, policy-makers and hands-on practitioners from Estonia and around Europe to share visionary ideas, research results and best practices for the effective integration in diverse societies.
Why
In light of global rise of cultural and religious tensions and xenophobia – it is crucial to combat fear and mistrust of differences, prevent polarization and drawing borders between ethnicities or religions – in order to maintain united and inclusive societies where diversity is a value.
What
European societies face similar challenges with diversity and integration. We want to learn from practical experience and research – to identify and share the best practices from around Europe, in order to apply them locally.
Who
The conference is for everyone who is interested in integration issues – researchers and students, policy-makers and administrators, civil society leaders and activists, who want to contribute to the discussion – and action in the field of integration.
