To do this, Piedmont Region focuses on three fields of action: Raising awareness among the various agents of the local community about welcome culture This activity aims to improve the capacities and sensitivity to integration and welcoming by local communities, providing a series of actions aimed at the main stakeholders (population, volunteers, trade associations and grassroots associations, public bodies) to stimulate in each of these agents a better ability to respond to the dynamics generated by the influx at the local level of migrants seeking employment and / or settlement. Carry out individual and collective empowerment actions for migrants on issues about the Italian language, housing, and health This activity focuses directly on the final beneficiaries aiming to strengthen their general knowledge and their specific skills in all areas of life considered fundamental for a real social integration in the territories. Improve the supply and demand of labour in the agricultural world This activity focuses specifically on the work environment and on another key player: agricultural enterprises and their representative system. In this case, the actions aim to improve the system to find job opportunities offered to migrants by companies and at the same time to orientate and define the training needs of the final beneficiaries for a good and stable job placement. Summary in Italian Il progetto ha l’obiettivo principale di rafforzare le capacità, la cultura e le opportunità di accoglienza dei migranti nei territori obiettivo (Saluzzese e basso Astigiano). Per farlo, ci si concentra su tre campi d'azione: Sensibilizzare i diversi attori della comunità locale alla cultura della accoglienza Questa attività mira a migliorare le capacità e la sensibilità alla integrazione e alla accoglienza da parte delle comunità locali, prevedendo una serie di azioni rivolte agli stakeholders principali (popolazione, volontari, Associazioni di categoria e associazionismo di base, Enti Pubblici) finalizzate a stimolare in ognuno di questi attori una miglior capacità di risposta alle dinamiche generate dall’afflusso a livello locale di migranti in cerca di occupazione lavorativa e/o di stabilizzazione. Realizzare azioni di empowerment individuale e collettivo dei migranti sui temi della lingua italiana, casa, salute Questa attività si focalizza direttamente sui beneficiari mirando a rafforzarne le conoscenze generali, le competenze specifiche in tutti gli ambiti di vita ritenuti fondamentali per una reale integrazione sociale sui territori. Migliorare l’incrocio domanda-offerta di lavoro nel mondo agricolo Questa attività si focalizza specificamente sull’ambito lavorativo e su un altro attore chiave: le imprese agricole e il loro sistema di rappresentanza. In questo caso, le azioni mirano a migliorare il sistema di reperimento delle opportunità lavorative offerte ai migranti da parte delle aziende e al contempo a orientare e definire i fabbisogni formativi dei beneficiari per un buon e stabile inserimento lavorativo. 3 1. Initial situation At the beginning of the project, on each of the identified areas there are actions carried out individually by specific associations (e.g. Caritas, Coldiretti, Confcooperative and associated cooperatives) and by public bodies (e.g. Municipalities of Saluzzo, Lagnasco, Revello Consorzio Monviso Solidale, Asl - Local Health Agencies). These actions, however, are currently carried out only on single aspects (e.g.: reception, job placement, etc.), without a synergetic and connected approach to social planning. The contribution offered by the actions carried out within PlurAlps are the following: in the Saluzzo area, where in the same period of the start of PlurAlps new institutional policies were implemented by the Municipality of Saluzzo, PlurAlps is a way to favour crossroads and bridges connecting the various punctual actions aiming at a coordinated territorial planning. In the lower Asti area, PlurAlps creates the conditions for the realization of a pilot route with the same objectives, even if starting from a different territorial context and different density of presence of migrants. The strategy and the results expected in the two selected territories are here below illustrated. As far as the activities are concerned, the start-up and realisation time difference between the two territories is highlighted, as the Saluzzo one in the first year of the PlurAlps project responded quickly and positively to the inputs, while the one concerning the lower Asti area, having also different characteristics, as reported above, started to be truly engaged only at the end of 2018. 2.
