3. International Network Meeting Immigrant Integration to Rural Areas March 15th - 16 th, 2018 · Brilon (Germany) Dokumentation Thank you for participating in our third network meeting in Brilon, Germany.

We all have noticed again throughout the conference how important the work for integration is for our society and for the refugees. Your dedication made the conference a success.

In this document you will find the documentation from our two days, with photos, links to YouTube Videos - like the video of the concert - and some good ideas, sharing plans and projects as a results from the workshops. You will also find contact information to all participants so that you can keep and get in touch with each other. In Finland, we will see if the action-plans you developed in the workshop are becoming a reality and how some of your ideas are progressing. The IIRA Steering Group will analyze your answers from the evaluation and will seriously consider your input for the next conference in Finland. Don´t forget to visit our Facebook Page: Immigrant Integration to Rural Areas, and you are welcome to apply for a membership in the Facebook-Group with the same name.
