The project aim is to exchange practices and create sustainable tools and guidelines, which will be used by municipalities to evaluate their local integration strategies and make them more efficient for young migrants, young refugees and young people with migrant backgrounds. Under the project, the consortium will develop and test 3 tangible outcomes:
- Publication on models and strategies of integration at local level – Intellectual Output 1

- Guidelines for a “Migrant Youth Friendly City” – Intellectual Output 3
