The project PandPAS focus on post – arrival support for the integration of persons in need of international protection. At the same time, it produces tools for pre – departure activities and pilot practices to promote inclusion and active participation of third-country nationals in society overall. The project stems from Italian, Croatian and Slovenian regions where big or medium “hubs” are located. It makes use of the Portuguese approach in matter of “widespread welcoming and integration” and of the Cypriot experience in the field social entrepreneurship for inclusion of third-country nationals.
