The project idea came from the consideration that European societies are becoming more open and diverse day by day especially with the free-movement policy of the European Union and with the influx of refugees in the continent. But despite of these revolutionary changes, some part of the societies remain conservative hence the populace still experience, inequality, discrimination and sometimes hate-crimes.

METHODOLOGY
Innet focused at investigating the world of integration of asylum seekers in order to stimulate the creation, development and implementation of new projects within the Erasmus Plus Programme, through the analysis of the most appropriate actions to the different realities and situations. Innet, as a Partnership Building Activity, explored the possibility to create a strong partnership through non-formal activities that is stimulating a confident climate and is creating a strong mood for best practices and strong (human, cultural and professional) relations.
