Safe public spaces, online and in town – 12 April, 10:00-11:00 | How can our towns and regions' public spaces be made safer for women and men, both in the physical and virtual world? We will be addressing this issue during a session in Bilbao. Find out more: we wrote an article to give you a sneak preview of what we will be discussing.

Migrant integration in an interconnected world - 13 April, 9:30-11:30 | When people migrate, once they settle down, it’s always at the local level. However, towns and regions are not usually in charge of migration policy. And yet, when it comes to creating a safe space for both migrants and natives to live, work and play in harmony, the responsibility almost always comes down to local governments. Find out more about the session we are organising called “Migrant integration: testing our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion”.
