About

How psychological and social factors influence integration. 

Project Outcomes

  • The socio-psychological dimension of integration is a combination of different indicators of how the arriving and receiving communities “live well together”.
  • Arriving communities across all four countries considered showed positive attitudes towards receiving communities while receiving communities had neutral to moderately positive attitudes.
  • The FOCUS Approach highlights key steps to promote trust and reciprocity, social connectedness, wellbeing, resilience and a sense of belonging of all community members. This approach focuses on dynamic integration as a practical framework to foster social bonds and connections among arriving and receiving communities.
