Note(s)

1. The European Commission adopted the first Action Plan on integration on 7 June 2016. The current Action Plan on integration and inclusion has been adopted on 24 November 2020. Although Member States are primarily responsible for integration, the EU is supporting national and local policies with policy coordination, exchange of knowledge and financial resources.

2. The Plan includes actions across all the policy areas that are crucial for integration:

  • pre-departure and pre-arrival measures, including actions to prepare migrants and the local communities for the integration process;
  • education, including actions to promote language training, participation of migrant children to early childhood education and care, teacher training and civic education;
  • employment and vocational training, including actions to promote early integration into the labour market and migrants entrepreneurship;
  • access to basic services such as housing and healthcare;
  • active participation and social inclusion, including actions to support exchanges with the receiving society, migrants' participation to cultural life and fighting discrimination.

3. While it targets all third-country nationals in the EU, it contains actions to address the specific challenges faced by refugees.
