The kick-off meeting of the INTEGRALITY project took place on July 9th and 10th, 2024, in Nicosia. The meeting, which was hosted by our partner CSI Centre for Social Innovation, was an opportunity for all ten partners to get together, exchange ideas, plan ahead and form bonds, which will allow our project to flourish.

The INTEGRALITY project will promote the development and implementation of a multi-stakeholder strategy, shared among project countries, to encourage labor inclusion of migrants in agriculture, in a framework of legality and respect for the rights of workers.

At the base of the project design there is the acknowledgment of a lack of awareness among migrants about the risks of exploitation and their rights as workers and on the other side, the need to make more aware operators of the agricultural value chain on the existence of specific law at national and European level to fight forms of exploitation and on the risks for employers in adopting illegal forms of work. To this end, the project will promote capacity building activities and exchange of European practices will be addressed to local authorities in establishing multi-stakeholders’ partnership in their territorial context for the elaboration and implementation of strategies to encourage the regular employment of migrant workers, in the agricultural sector with particular attention in the organic sector.
