The @nclution project focuses on LGBTQI+ migrants and refugees, bringing together local authorities, civil society organizations (promoting the rights of migrants and LGBTQI+ persons) and migrant-led organizations from diverse EU regions (Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland & Spain). The aim of the project is to increase the effectiveness of the inclusion of LGBTQI+ migrants at local level, by implementing local integration strategies and measures based on the cooperation and coordination among local authorities, migrants’ organizations and communities, LGBTQI+ organizations and other CSOs supporting the rights of migrants and LGBTQI+ persons. The project focuses on LGBTQI+ migrants and refugees as they have specific needs and vulnerabilities and will propose a targeted approach addressing their needs. For the implementation of this approach the project involves three main target groups and namely migrants’ organizations and communities,  LGBTQI+ organizations and local authorities. The cooperation of the target organizations is essential for effectively identifying, understanding and addressing the needs of this vulnerable group, with a view of improving all aspects of their integration.

In view of the above, the proposed project aims at increasing the inclusion of LGBTQI+ migrants’ at local level, by promoting the cooperation between local authorities, LGBTQI+ organizations and migrants’ organizations.
