"Building structures for intercultural integration in Cyprus" is a 2-year project being implemented by the Intercultural Cities Programme and the European Commission’s Directorate General for Structural Reform Support, in partnership with the Civil Registry and Migration Department of the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Cyprus.
The main aim of the project is the creation of five Regional Intercultural Networks in the districts of Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Famagusta.
The project will support the Republic of Cyprus in implementing its National Action Plan on the Integration of Third-Country Nationals 2020-2022, by empowering local authorities, NGOs, and migrant organisations to be part of the integration process. The project will run from June 2021 to June 2023.
It will use the Intercultural Cities conceptual, analytical and policymaking tools to address the challenges of migrant integration, in particular related to building trust, fostering community cohesion and managing diversity as a resource. The model will help public authorities to achieve inclusion, equality and prosperity by unlocking the potential of diverse societies while minimizing the risks related to human mobility and cultural diversity.
The project will build upon significant and positive changes which have resulted from the implementation of the Intercultural Cities programme in Limassol since 2010, such as the creation of an Intercultural Council and the city’s first Intercultural Strategy.
"Building structures for intercultural integration in Cyprus" will contribute to the integration of migrants in a range of areas including participation, education, cultural and social life, urban planning, business, access to the labour market, anti-discrimination and multilingualism.
