Voies vers la prospérité: Atlantique

P2P has been asked by CIC’s Integration Branch to produce five short videos examining promising practices by LIPs in the following strategic areas:

1. Promoting welcoming communities (fostering positive attitudes toward immigrants)
2. Engaging employers and other labour market actors
3. Coordinating services
4. Leveraging additional resources

Each video will feature an interview with a LIP official focusing on a particular strategic area. The interviews will provide an overview of the LIP’s activities in that area, followed by a discussion of the main factors that account for the activity’s success. The videos will also focus on the challenges that were encountered by the LIPs and how these were addressed. In addition, the videos will discuss the evidence that is available for describing the practices as promising and what it would take to transfer the practices to other geographic regions.

Thanks are due to the LIP coordinators and officials who have agreed to share their time and expertise. The videos will be available on the P2P’s website in the section dealing with Local Immigration Partnerships and Place-based Initiatives. They will be prominently identified and the P2P will welcome feedback as to whether other organizations, especially other LIPs, find the format interesting and useful.
