The City Network for Integration (Cni) Strenghtens Its Operations N E W S L E T T E R # 1 J U L Y 2 0 2 0 The Cities Network for Integration (CNI) launched its operation in January 2018, based on a memorandum of understanding between the municipalities of Athens and Thessaloniki. To date, 14 municipalities have joined CNI: Athens, Aghios Dimitrios (Attica), Heraklion (Crete), Thessaloniki, Ioannina, Karditsa, Larisa, Livadia, Nea Filadelfeia/Nea Chalkidona, Piraeus, Tilos, Trikala and Tripoli.On September 2020 the Municipality of Neapolis - Sykeon has joined CNI becoming the network's 14th member. THE CITY NETWORK FOR INTEGRATION (CNI) STRENGHTENS ITS OPERATIONS In recent years, local authorities have been at the The CNI is an initiative led by Greek Municipalities that host forefront of a number of challenges related to the refugee populations. Under CNI, for the first time Greek management of the refugee issue, while also trying to municipalities – regardless of their size – come together to efficiently safeguard peaceful coexistence in their local promote cooperation on integration issues and to have their communities.

It was the first municipality to provide reception and accommodation facilities to refugees as early as 2011, while developing a whole range of programmes for the integration of refugees in the city’s everyday life. Today, in 2020, the smooth integration of refugees into our society and everyday life remains the greatest challenge faced by every Greek municipality that hosts refugee populations. Thanks to the Cities Network for Integration, Greek cities have the opportunity to share good practices, local expertise, and valuable tools at a time when the refugee issue poses a great challenge for our country. Since April 2020, CNI’s intra-municipal cooperation has been strengthened. The immediate positive response by UNHCR and IOM to the City of Athens’ call to support the Cities Network, constitutes an extremely important step towards our common effort to strengthen integration and social cohesion. Melina Daskalaki, Executive Advisor for Migrants and Refugees, Municipality of Athens 2 It is with great joy and enthusiasm that UNHCR, the duly mandated international body for the protection of refugees, has been supporting the Cities Network for Integration since 2018, while, since 2016 it has been supporting all municipalities implementing the ESTIA scheme. The circumstances are now mature enough, in order for public policy – and those in charge of implementing it – to take a step forward on the refugee issue. In other words, it is time for the competent authorities to clarify what happens to those granted international protection status, because they are at high risk of persecution and/or serious violations of their fundamental rights in their home countries. The ‘next day’ of the refugee issue in Greece is undoubtedly multifaceted. The main issue currently in the limelight, is the transition of refugees, from a state of uncertainty and complete dependence on State Authorities for meeting basic needs (such as housing), to obtaining a legal status that warrants rights and obligations quite similar to those of a Greek citizen, but at the same time requires an active role in the search of housing and employment, and the need to overcome a number of bureaucratic hurdles. At the same time, however, this transition process entails the gradual transformation of the refugee from an “object” of an administrative procedure, or an “object” of concern for local communities, to a “subject”, that is to say, an active member of the economic, social and cultural life of the country. In other words, a transformation of the refugee from a consumer to a “net contributor” of social capital. We do hope that the CNI initiative of the Municipality of Athens and the Municipalities participating in the Network, with the support of UNHCR and IOM, and the assistance from the State and the European Commission, will allow further investment in the ‘next day’ of the refugee issue, in the interest of social progress in Greece and the European Union. Updating and implementing the National Integration Strategy, as well as making the most of the potential role of Municipalities and their local communities, are undoubtedly top priorities. Petros Mastakas Petros Mastakas, UNHCR Associate Protection Officer , UNHCR 3 The International Organization for Migration (IOM), is firmly oriented towards the support of Greek authorities – Central Government and Local Government – with regards to the issues of refugees and migrants residing in Greece. More specifically, IOM supports and implements both reception and integration programmes throughout the country, in close cooperation with other organizations and local authorities. With regards to the Cities Network for Integration, IOM has been supporting CNI’s coordinated approach to social integration since December 2018, recognizing the value of cooperation at the local level, on the basis of safeguarding social cohesion and exchanging common experiences and information. Finally, IOM welcomes UNHCR in this joint venture, so that both organisations can efficiently support and strengthen the goals set by the members of the Cities Network. Milan Colic Humljan Senior Project Coordinator, IOM 4 CITIES SET PRIORITIES What do Greek municipalities need in order to effectively achieve the integration of refugee populations in the social and economic life at local level? Through the “Needs Assessment” process that was completed in June 2020, the CNI team identified a number of key priority areas where municipalities* are in most need of support in order to effectively implement integration initiatives. As illustrated in the figure, the main priorities which emerged are the following: The need to strengthen municipal structures and services, the need for education activities and for further empowerment of refugees for their successful integration into the labour market, the need to raise awareness, share information and promote active participation among local communities, and the need for CNI to play a role in the promotion of institutional reform. The figure below illustrates the priority axes described above and highlights specific fields of intervention. *The following Municipalities participated in the Needs Assessment: Municipality of Athens, Heraklion (Crete), Ioannina, Karditsa, Larissa, Livadia, N. Philadelphia-N. Chalkidona, Piraeus, Trikala and Tripoli. 5 SERIES OF VISITS The coordination team of the Cities Network for Integration has launched a series of constructive bilateral meetings, in order to start planning specific activities on the basis of the priorities and areas of need identified through a Needs Assessment process completed in June 2020. So far, the CNI coordination team has visited the Municipalities of Ioannina, Larissa, Piraeus, Nea Philadelphia-Nea Chalkidona and Thessaloniki. In parallel, meetings were also held with the Mayors of the municipalities of Ziros and Zitsa (Region of Epirus) in the context of the Network’s expansion initiatives with the addition of new members.

  • Visualizing the Byzantine City the Art of Memory
    Abstracts Visualizing the Byzantine City Charalambos Bakirtzis Depictions of cities: in the icon “Allegory of Jerusalem on High,” two cities are depicted, one in the foothills and the other at the edge of a rocky mountain. The lengthy inscription of the icon is of interest from a town-planning and architectural standpoint. The imperial Christian city: in the mosaics of the Rotunda in Thessalonike, the city is not shown with walls, but with palaces and other splendid public buildings, declaring the emperor’s authority as the sole ruler and guarantor of the unity of the state and the well-being of cities, which was replaced by the authority of Christ. The appearance of the walled city: all the events shown in the mosaics (seventh century) of the basilica of St. Demetrios are taking place outside the walls of the city, probably beside the roads that lead to it. The city’s chora not only protected the city; it was also protected by it. A description of the city/kastron: John Kameniates lived through the capture of Thessalonike by the Arabs in the summer of 904. At the beginning of the narrative, he prefixes a lengthy description/encomium of Thessalonike. The means of approaching the place indicate that the way the city is described by Kameniates suits a visual description. Visualizing the Late Byzantine city: A. In an icon St. Demetrios is shown astride a horse. In the background, Thessalonike is depicted from above. A fitting comment on this depiction of Thessalonike is offered by John Staurakios because he renders the admiration called forth by the large Late Byzantine capitals in connection with the abandoned countryside.

  • Results Factsheet Indicator Tra05: Time-Distance
    April 2008 RESULTS FACTSHEET INDICATOR TRA05: TIME-DISTANCE DEFINITION- OBJECTIVE The indicator assesses the time-distances within the Impact Zone of the Egnatia Motorway, when using means of road transport. The distance time between cities is an essential indicator for the assessment of the cities’ accessibility and a basic piece of information, as regards the cost calculation for the transportation of goods and the overall cost. RESULTS – ASSESSMENT With the help of the counts available and traffic model of EGNATIA ODOS SA, three maps (2, 3 & 4) of time zones have been prepared, showing the reduction of the time-distance assessed, which will be achieved for movements from Ioannina, Kozani, Thessalonki and Komotini to other areas with the completion of the motorway, in relation to the situation prior to the Egnatia Motorway construction. Generally, the completion of the Egnatia Motorway construction will result in a substantial saving of the time required to travel along Northern Greece. In particular, the route Ioannina - Thessaloniki will be reduced by approximately 3 hours, Ioannina - Komotini more than 4 hours, while the route Ioannina - Igoumenitsa will be reduced by 1 hour and the distance Ioannina- Kipi will be reduced by more than 4 hours. The time required for the route Kozani - Ioannina will be reduced by 1 hour, Kozani – Ioannina more than 90 minutes, Kozani - Komotini more than 2 hours, while the routes of Kozani - Igomenitsa and Kozani - Kipi will be reduced by up to 3 hours. The time required for the route Thessaloniki- Igoumenitsa will be reduced by more than 3 hours, while the journey Thessaloniki- Kipi (Greek - Turkish borders) will be reduced by 2 hours.

  • SOS Children's Villages
    Pre-school Educa/on of Children in Migra/on in Greece Ioannina – Greece Program summary Since October 2020, SOS Children’s Villages runs a kindergarten in Ioannina (Greece) to support refugee and migrant children and their families in their development, their mental health, their social interacBons and their integraBon in the Greek community. This project aims to support and care for preschool aged children and their families through preschool educaBonal acBviBes and psychosocial support. Background informa/on on refugees and asylum-seekers in Greece At the end of 2019, Greece hosted over 186.000 refugees and asylum-seekers. This included over 5.000 unaccompanied children. Most people were coming from Afghanistan, the Syrian Arab Republic, the DemocraBc Republic of the Congo and Iran. Sub-standard recepBon condiBons, overcrowded first-line recepBon faciliBes, as well as limited access to psychosocial support, case management, care, protecBon, health, immunizaBon and slow asylum and administraBve procedures remain the most common issues faced by refugee and migrant children and their families on the ground. Despite notable progress in naBonal legislaBve and policy framework related to the protecBon of refugee children, and overall inclusion into naBonal educaBon systems, naBonal capaciBes to respond to the needs of some of the most vulnerable children on the move (e.g. living in squats and informal seSlements in urban areas, potenBal vicBms of Gender Based Violence, as well as in detenBon or in first idenBficaBon and recepBon centres in Greek islands) are limited, requiring addiBonal investments and technical support. On top of that, some of the current support interven/ons have been downsized, which will affect the livelihood of 10.685 people of concern, either forcing them to leave their accommodaBon or leaving them without cash assistance.
