Summary: | This guide illustrates 37 regional and local initiatives, policies, and projects that seek to help and support socially excluded communities, including those of Somali and white, low-income communities, or address similar issues faced by other groups, in eight cities in Denmark, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.This guide is intended to be a resource for governments, local authorities, policymakers, and civil society organizations, with the hope that readers will be both informed and inspired by the examples of good practice that it presents. The additional practices highlighted here are divided into chapters on identity, belonging, and interaction; education; employment and training; housing; health; policing and security; and the role of the media.As with the two previous Living Together reports, this publication is intended as a place to showcase innovative local, regional, and national practices that have arisen since the completion of the Open Society Initiative for Europe's At Home in Europe Project's Muslims in EU Cities research.Some of the examples were identified as part of advocacy activities following the At Home in Europe's Muslims in EU Cities reports and some through meetings across Europe with actors who work to challenge and resolve inequalities, discrimination, and marginalization of other groups at local and national levels. |
