New models of meeting priority needs
In exploring new ways of meeting the priority needs of our communities we will encourage models, such as co-operatives and mutuals, which give greater influence and voice to staff and users. in designing and commissioning public services and in determining the use of public resources.
About the project
This project was inspired by the current refugee crisis in Europe and looks at:
• How the people and communities of Cardiff and other British cities can come together to welcome and help refugees and asylum seekers.
• How they can help refugees and asylum seekers arrive and settle into British life.
Goal
• To ensure that newly-arrived Syrian refugee families integrate peacefully into Welsh society, understand Welsh culture and the Welsh way of life, gain access to public/ community educational initiatives, and enable stakeholders to understand and support their rights to quality of life.
Objectives
• Welcome the newly arrived Syrian refugees to their new home, while providing them with the key tools for their cultural transition, peaceful integration and community cohesion.
• Promote safe and easily-accessible cultural integration by advocating for appropriate learning environments for refugees and asylum seekers.
• Support the vulnerable attendees with their confidence levels by increasing cultural and community cohesion.
