Overview

Strategies aimed at ensuring that the interaction between migrants and host societies is positive and mutually beneficial are considered an essential part of a comprehensive migration policy. Respect, inclusion, participation, opportunity and nondiscrimination emerged as key words during the workshop discussion. While there is no one definition of integration, there was broad agreement that effective integration should allow migrants to become self-reliant in the host country, to participate actively in their new environment and to feel accepted as full and equal members of society. Integration is in many ways an intangible, social and individual process, but can be analysed along specific economic, legal, social and cultural categories.
