About the course

A Holistic Approach to the Integration of Migrants and Refugees

The e-course 'A Holistic Approach to the Integration of Migrants and Refugees' is a comprehensive course designed to provide a 360-degree perspective on the multifaceted dimensions surrounding the integration of migrants and refugees. The course was developed by MIEUX+ Initiative (MIgration EU eXpertise), which was funded by the EU and implemented by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development, and is only available in English.

This e-course aims to equip policymakers seeking to deepen their understanding of migrant integration dynamics with the knowledge on how to develop effective integration strategies. It offers an extensive exploration into the various approaches EU member states use to integrate migrants and refugees. The course features detailed case studies from multiple countries (i.e. Austria, Croatia, Finland, Italy, Malta, Lithuania etc.), including Barcelona's reception services and Estonia's national integration plans, providing insights into successful policies and practices. By the end of this course, participants will grasp the critical elements of integration systems and learn how to tailor policies to enhance the success of migrant inclusion initiatives.

This e-course comprises 18 dynamic modules, designed for completion within a 20-hour timeframe. The course encompasses text elements, videos and quizzes. It is supplemented with background reading and thought-provoking questions to facilitate self-reflection.
