Madrid. web: http/www.mtin.es This edition has received the support of the General Direction of the Programme for Employment, Social Affaire and Equality of opportunities of the European Commission. The funds come from the European Communitarian Programme for Employment and Solidarity (2007-2013). This programme was created to support financially the implementation of the goals of the European Union in the field of employment and social affaire, as established in the purposes of the Social Agenda and thus, to contribute to the compliance of the goals of the Lisbon Strategy in these fields. The programme, with duration of seven years, is directed to all the groups of interest that may help in shaping the development suitable and effective policies and legislation on employment and social affairs in the 27 member states of the EU, EFTA-EEA and candidate and pre-candidate countries. The mission of PROGRESS is reinforcing the contribution of the EU in the support to the compromises and efforts of the member States to create more and bet- ter employment and to build a best built society. For this PROGRESS: • Provides with political analysis and counselling in the PROGRESS areas; • Controls and informs on the implementation of the legislation and policies of the EU in the PROGRESS areas; • Promotes the political transfer, learning and support between the member States in the goals and priorities of the EU; • Transfers the vision of the groups of interest and the society as a whole. • For more information: http://ec.europa.eu/employment_social/progress/index_en.html “The information contained in this edition does not show the position and opinion of the European Commission” GUIDE TO BUILD AND APPLY LOCAL PLANS ON RAISING AWARENESS 3 PRESENTATION PRESENTATION Integration is a double-direction road in which the institutions belonging to the host society and to the people that have come to our country searching for an improvement in their living conditions have to take part. The closest institution to the new neighbours that have decided to live with us is the local administration and that is why the General Directorate for Immi- grants Integration of the State Secretary of Immigration and Emigration, well aware of the role the local administration has in connection with the integra- tion of immigrants, has not stopped providing with support to the actions of these institutions are carrying out for integration. An example of this support is the Guide to build and apply local plans on rai- sing awareness that is now in the hands of the professional teams of the City Councils, the Provincial Governments, and other type of local goverments, etc. as a tool that, without any doubt, will make their work easier when desig- ning programmes allowing that integration stops being an utopia to come closer to reality. The Guide has been created in the frame of the European programme Pro- gress that promotes national activities of awareness in the field of anti-discri- mination. It has been developed and designed by a panel of experts in the field of immigration, and also by some institutions and organizations specia- lised in the fight against discrimination which is, in the end, the main objecti- ve of the creation of this tool. We hope that this tool we present today, helps establishing the bases of the harmonic living in a society characterised by diversity and which cultural flow has increased with the arrival of new neighbours.
