ROADMAP TO INTEGRATION

Thursday 13 October 2011

11.00am - Noon

in Buswells Hotel, Molesworth St, Dublin 2

This new study identifies some of the key blockages in Ireland in terms of integration policy and provides almost 80 suggested solutions to them. It indicates whether those responsible for the policy are making progress in addressing the issue. It is published by The Integration Centre.

These issues are divided into nine sections. They are Business and Employment; Political Participation; Health; Education; Training and Upskilling; Policing and Justice; Poverty and Housing; Legal Citizenship and Residency; and Other.

Killian Forde, CEO of The Integration Centre, and Frances Soney Ituen, Womens Integrated Network will also speak at the event.
