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.  

Below 10 is a project promoted by a partnership of nine organizations in six different EU countries. The partners include schools, education networks, NGOs, and university research centres. The project aims to prevent and combat Early School Leaving (ESL), through a territorially based process of action research and the development of collaborative strategies among diversified local institutions.

The current research project proposes to develop a deep research that 1)will identify the entrepreneurship of the Portuguese emigrants in Andorra, London (Stockwell’s neighbourhood), Nice (city) and Monaco; 2)will assess their integration in the socio-economical, cultural and political local contexts; 3)will compare this integration in the several territories of study;4)will identify its presence in “media”. This project will develop a platform and an interactive data base that, in a first stage, and starting from a conventional methodology of research, referred below, will permit to accomplish the mentioned aims.
