RES-MOVE: Resources on the Move (New Project)
New EU Project for leveraging collaborative spaces for the inclusive integration of migrants
Migrant integration is vital for fostering diverse, resilient, and dynamic societies. Migrants bring valuable skills, perspectives, and innovations that enrich local economies and cultures. However, they often face barriers to employment and social inclusion.
RES-MOVE, an EU Project funded by Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF), addresses these challenges by promoting access to coworking spaces, where migrants can connect with opportunities, networks, and resources, thereby enhancing their employability and societal contribution.
RESMOVE seeks to make use of the unique potential of collaborative spaces, transforming them into hubs of inclusive integration for migrants. By promoting diversity, innovation, and social cohesion, we aim to create a more dynamic and inclusive labor market across the European Union.

Kick Off Meeting in Athens
The Kick Off Meeting of the project took place in Athens, at the premises of the Academy of Entrepreneurship, the coordinating organization of the project, on 14 and 15 March.
It was a very fruitful opportunity for the partners to get to know each other, to share their experience in managing coworking spaces and the integration of migrants in the labour market and society in general.
The partners organised the next steps of the project, especially the research one, and planned their activities according to the specific needs of the target group and the labour market.
Stay tuned for the next activities of the project!
