Handbook on Integration for policy-makers and practitioners

This Handbook offers best practices and lessons learned from 27 EU Member States. It has been developed in close cooperation with the National Contact Points on Integration and aims to promote the creation of a coherent European framework on integration by facilitating the exchange of experience and information. The Handbook is addressed to policy-makers and practitioners at the local, regional, national and EU levels. It covers three thematic subjects and three governance approaches. Chapters on the role of the media, the acquisition of nationality and the practice of active citizenship, and the experiences of immigrant youth in the education system and labour market present practices and lessons learned in these specific areas.
