Synopsis

The volume presents a selection of best practices implemented in the Tuscany region in the field of reception and integration policies for migrants and asylum seekers. This book is the result of research conducted within the European project “Global Social Work and Human Mobility: Comparative Studies on Local Government and Good Social Work Practices in the Euro-Mediterranean Region” (Global-ANSWER), dedicated to promoting knowledge exchange, expertise transfer and the dissemination of best practices in social work and human mobility in Europe.
The volume adopts the framework of the “White Paper on Reception Policies for Asylum Seekers and International or Humanitarian Protection Holders” released in 2017 by the Tuscany Region and Anci Toscana to consolidate principles, guidelines and best practices, as well as to provide a common framework aimed at improving reception services and integration policies for migrant citizens. Within this context, the volume’s primary goal is to identify good practices, analyze the context of their application, describe their characteristics and assess their potential for replication in other settings. The volume is a useful tool for a broad audience, including social workers, educators, policy evaluators and implementers, policymakers, students, academics, citizens with a migrant background and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of migrant integration.
