  1. Three European stories to be told… Story of Bologna-Budapest Transfer Tea Garadnay and Massimo Peron

  2. Migrants’situation in Budapest – differences from other EU contexts Demographical data on migration: • Foreigners with residence permit: ~74.000 (4,3% of total pop.) – lower than other EU cities • Nationalities: Hungarians background from neighbouring countries - 80% of migrants • Age and gender structure: younger, more men higher educated than other EU cities • Labour marketsituation: better than the average of population, better than in other EU cities

  3. Needs of authorities and NGOs working on migrant issues Cooperation with each other, coordinatetd teamwork – in protocols on transfering cases Training, supervision Other issue to be kept into account: Election at the begining of the project influenced the process and results Following the Bologna experiences… cooperation between public and private sector is based on formal agreements, coordinated teamwork and operational objectives to be achieved and the means to be adopted

  4. Interesting points and added value of Bologna model for Budapest Cooperation and agreements between private and public sector on social issues Planning and management of projects for Roma inclusion Development of projects to prevent and contrast discrimination against migrant and Roma people, supporting their social inclusion (e.g. Antenna System)

  5. Weaknesses, threats and problems in the process (1) • LG changed just 3 days before the 1st workshop: nobody saw the goals and the system of the new LG, nobody represented the LG on the workshop • NGOs didn’t trust enough in LG and they were afraid that BPE tried to get their business and their budget • Migrants weren’t motivated enough to join the local project, we think they couldn’t really see, what could be their prompt and future profit on it.

  6. Weaknesses, threats and problems in the process (2) Probably problems in continuing: • Fear that LG’s political viewpoints overwrite NGOs professional viewpoints (threat): Following Bologna experiences… different roles and tasks shared out public and private organisations (named horizontal subsidiarity) • About Public sector: programs, coordination, standard definition of services, funds, direct management, monitoring and evaluation • About Private-No Profit sector: identification of needs, cooperation with public sector to define policy, planning and management of services • The transferring process can’t be concluded during the life cycle of the project, so we are afraid that the efforts could disappear after it (threat) • NGOs trust could be a weakness

  7. How we could solve these problems? • Interim meeting between 1st and 2nd ws: reasons for the LG – why it could be good for them • On 2nd ws we got some points of the probable cooperation, after having written it down, and persuaded NGOs one by one to sign it –for building trust(formal/political agreements, practical formal/informal cooperation) • Trying to involve migrants in our training on equal opportunity • Trying to interview migrants on discrimination: stories and information on their needs • Invited10 persons in last two activities, but it wasn’t succesfull (none of them came) • Asked NGOs what to do with migrants, how to motivate them (involving them in the project with concrete results) • Involving representative of LG to this seminar  • Working with NGOs on concrete projectplans till 4th ws in January (after project life cycle)

  8. Results 1/2The suggestion – base of the cooperation between LG and NGO Points: • Setting up a consultation board involving: NGO, LG, State Migrant Office, suppliers of social, helathcare and education system • Working on financial models, common projects, cooperation agreements and chanels of information exchanging • Involving migrant persons in this board and into the civil workshops of the Municipality (see above) • Raising awareness of suppliers of the capital and giving them information on migrant issues even for helping them to work with migrants • Considering migrants as a tagret group in the local actionplan of the capital for equal opportunities Undersigned by 8 NGO and Budapest Chance NLtd.

  9. Results 2/2Probable outcomes till the end of the project and after Agreement/next steps: • Before January NGOs will be working out a plan of a common project on social housing, employment and awarenesscampaigns • Searching for calls and later to apply with the first common project • To keep this issue on the table of the LG • Ask the LG join in this project and ensure the retention what need Other links: • Medical Graduate and Postgraduate Institute’s SIMIGRA project (helping officefor migrants which has medical degree to get a job) • Office of Ombudsman interested in the project • Representative of the LG joined to National Contact Point of the European Migration Network
