In many European countries, the integration of ‘old’ migrants across generations as well as ‘newcomers’, such as refugees and asylum seekers, constitutes a serious challenge for society as a whole.
Inequalities related to ethnic and migration backgrounds are evident: labour and socioeconomic segregation, little use of welfare resources compared to autochthonous populations, modest upward mobility processes, deficient recognition of (im)migrants skills and competences in the hosting society, discrimination in access to opportunities, concealed racism, etc.
It can be very confusing and difficult for (im)migrants to understand how to integrate into a host country. This workshop will use role play and design thinking techniques to explore and understand if involving (im)migrants in the co-design of solutions to ease the access to services within a Living Labs environment will help them better access their rights and accelerate integration.
