Integration Otherwise Inspiration Kit. A Guide for Practioners, Policymakers and Community Builder

Within the Horizon 2020 Project ReRoot, Cornelia Tippel, ILS-Scientist within the research group „Urban Social Space“ has co-authored the „Integration Otherwise Inspiration Kit“. The publication is a practical guidebook that centers bottom-up approaches on integration and moves beyond polarizing debates of newcomers failing to integrate or blames society as insufficiently welcoming. The authors introduce the concept of „arrival infrastructuring“, the interactive process through which newcomers, together with others, actively shape and transform their arrival situations. Through stories from the ground with concise takeaways, alongside tools for reflection and action, this guide equips practitioners, policymakers and community builders with a deeper understanding of the diverse forms of arrival infrastructuring, as well as the successes and challenges of everyday integration processes. https://doi.org/10.11116/9789461666758.
