Cities Network for Integration
The Cities Network for Integration (CNI), with its 2nd newsletter, welcomes a period of change and creative challenges, now numbering 17 members, following the accession of four new municipalities. Despite the prolonged uncertainty caused by the pandemic, and the changes, particularly with regard to the refugee issue, respect for human rights, coexistence and social cohesion remain a priority for the CNI members.
After all, the power and importance of ”Togetherness” has become today more apparent than ever. Guided by these values, the country’s municipalities hosting refugees continue to develop and support social integration initiatives, creating the conditions for the next day.
The newsletter includes statements by the Mayors of the four new CNI members, the Municipalities of Chania, Delta, Kalamaria and Neapoli – Sykees, stating the reasons why they are endorsing this common endeavor. In addition, there are news about the joint actions of the Network members as well as the initiatives led by each Municipality, all of which unite to create a colourful and promising mosaic.
