Webinar: Practice to Policy: Lessons from Local Leadership on Immigrant Integration
iCal / Google Calendar (.ics)Today’s cities are at the hub of an increasingly globalized economy. As the level of government closest to the people, municipalities are also well positioned to respond to their needs. Around the world, cities are developing policies and practices that accelerate the settlement and integration of immigrants, and engage local residents in building safe, healthy and prosperous communities.
In this webinar, international policy experts analyze innovative local practices and discuss the role that municipal governments and other local actors can – and should – play in shaping immigration and integration policy.
