Enhancing capacities for a pluralistic Alpine Space

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Alpine Space

Date of latest update: 2023-08-11

Description

Description (EN):

The Alpine area is experiencing the combined challenges of an ageing population and new migration models. At the same time, opportunities for social innovation and development arise from increasing cultural diversity and pluralism. Mountainous and peripheral Alpine municipalities and regions are specifically concerned and need technical support and new approaches to develop a welcoming culture, which should be credibly embraced and implemented by municipalities, SMEs and civil society. PlurAlps aims to develop and promote such a welcoming culture and to increase the territorial attractiveness and social cohesion of Alpine areas through innovative services and practices for the integration of migrants. The project will enable municipalities to engage better in social planning considering aspects of cultural diversity and quality of life of all citizens. Furthermore, the capabilities of municipalities, SMEs, and social organisations for cross-sectorial cooperation to provide welcome services will be strengthened. And finally knowledge and awareness regarding the integration of migrants in mountainous and peripheral Alpine areas will be improved. PlurAlps will deliver a transnationally applicable analysis instrument for medium to long-term community social planning and the integration of migrants in municipalities. The instrument will build on the analysis of communities and capitalize on the experience of previous projects. Pilot projects on social integration, economic innovation, and the management of Alpine landscapes by migrants will be implemented in municipalities and regions. The pilot projects will demonstrate good practices and show current challenges and limitations. A white paper focusing on regulatory and harmonisation issues will be developed by the participating regions. The transnational cooperation is essential to exchange knowledge and to mobilise the potential for social innovation across the participating regions. Total project budget is 2.7 M€.

Achievements (EN):

Pluralism as a strength of the Alps: this is what ten organisations in the PlurAlps project have been committed to. The pilot regions demonstrated how integration can succeed with the help of municipalities, companies and civil society. These experiences can now inspire others while giving insights into how to set up successful and sustainable integration projects. The project partners developed an instrument for social planning in municipalities that helps to improve the quality of life for the population and immigrants. The PlurAlps White Paper contains recommendations for politics and society: How can the attractiveness of peripheral areas in the Alps be increased? What strengthens social cohesion? and more.
