Peer-exchange visits

The peer-exchange visits are a fundamental part of the project ADMin4LL. These are organized between beneficiary municipalities across all project countries, with a view to enhancing mutual learning and ensuring the identification of recommendations for the improvement of service provision, while contributing to the creation of a EU network of cities committed to integration.

Peer review teams consist of municipal representatives and various local service providers, including civil society organizations working with the municipal governments, to ensure a wide range of relevant perspectives and hands-on experience.

During Phase II of ADMin4ALL (2018-2020), with the exception of the visit of Krakow and Malaga to Naples on 18-19 February 2020, such exchanges are organized online to abide by the protective measures and the traveling restrictions imposed in Europe to contain the spread of COVID-19.

The peer-to-peer exchanges are scheduled as follows:

  • 18-19 February 2020: peer-exchange visit of the municipal representatives of Malaga (Spain) and Krakow (Poland) to the city of Naples (Italy)
  • 18 November 2020: on-line peer exchange between the municipality of Madrid (Spain) and the municipality of Warsaw (Poland)
  • 24 November 2020: on-line peer exchange between the municipality of Palermo (Italy) and the municipality of Heraklion (Greece)
  • 3 December 2020: on-line peer exchange between the municipality of Cluj-Napoca (Romania) and the municipality of Florence (Italy)
  • 4 December 2020: on-line peer exchange between state-owned integration agencies in Malta and the municipality of Wroclaw (Poland)
  • 10 December 2020: on-line peer exchange between the municipality of Kufstein (Austria) and the municipality of Galati (Romania)

  • 31 March 2021: online peer exchange between the municipality of Venice (Italy) and the municipality of Gdansk (Poland)

Partner municipalities and authorities may also use the new ADMin4ALL online Community to exchange information, share good practices, and easily communicate with each other. The Community was created to enhance mutual learning on challenges and opportunities of migrant social inclusion.
