Integration Matters - Conference

03 November 2022
Launch of the "Indicators for Local Integration (ILI) Index" and a new Toolkit for migrant candidates running for election in Ireland

About this event
 

The “Integration Matters” conference organized by the Immigrant Council of Ireland is bringing together community and migrant leaders, local authority staff and different stakeholders working in the areas of migration, integration and community development to share their experiences and identify positive actions for greater diversity in politics and successful migrant integration.

During this conference, we will be launching “Indicators for Local Integration (ILI) Index”, designed to measure the progress in the area of migrant integration and to support Local Authorities in designing and implementing their integration strategies.

Alongside this we will also be launching our forthcoming Toolkit for migrant candidates running for election in Ireland. A valuable and practical resource which aims to reduce some of the barriers face by migrants in Ireland in running for election.

On the day we will also have a panel event on our EU funded SALAAM project which focuses on supporting local authorities on social inclusion and integration of Muslim communities in Irish society.

The event will take place in the Absolut Hotel, Limerick, on Tuesday, 8th November 2022, 11 am – 4 pm.
