Over the last years there have been several mass migrations of refugees from Asia and Africa moving to Europe to flee from wars, misery or persecutions, two of the most considerable migrations were the one caused by the war in Syria and by the war in Libya. The phenomenon has to be considered as an humanitarian emergency given the high risk of violence, slavery and death that is faced by migrants, the phenomenon concerns the entire European Community that is called to make an intervention and take responsibility in managing it. Unfortunately, the various European states have been divided and uncooperative in solving the problem, furthermore misinformation and prejudices on the issue are widespread among the citizens and fuel the stigmatization "of the immigrant as a scapegoat for a whole series of social and economic problems. Over the years,  Italy  has set  up  so-called ""first reception"" projects to receive political asylum seekers from Libya and meet their primary  needs (food, shelter, health care, etc.) and today is facing a new phase of the problem which is the socio-economic integration of migrants in its territory.
The objectives of this project are:
–     To create a  network  of collaboration  at  European level   between  associations   and   public  bodies operating   in   the  reception   system   for  asylum seekers  and  refugees to  exchange  good practices and  experiences   regarding  reception  and   socio- economic integration of the latters.
–    Organizing   meetings, trainings   and  intercultural exchanges between migrants and European citizens so as to increase awareness and information about migration and human rights.
–    Establish a European Migration Portal that provides on one  hand a  database  of information  regarding any  type of  useful  services (legal,  health,  housing, etc.)  for refugees who,  once  they have  left  their reception  projects, want  to  move to  an  Italian or European  city,  on the  other  hand the  Portal  will produces analysis and studies at international level on the topic of migration in various languages, so as to be an information tool available to every citizen "and / or organization."
