The migration of people is a timeless phenomenon integral to human society. Whether motivated by the need to flee conflict, or by the desire to seek a better quality of life elsewhere, the movement of people across national borders is inevitable. Usually migration brings a range of positive benefits, both for countries of origin and of destination. However, the process of adapting to life in a new country, particularly for those who may have had difficult journeys, is not always easy. The integration of migrants into society should be seen as a two-way process, involving efforts by the migrants themselves and those in destination host countries. This training manual is intended for use during training courses for government officials; members of parliament; representatives of national, regional and local authorities; social partners and civil society actors involved in developing, implementing and reviewing migrant integration policies in the OSCE region. The overall aim of this manual is to support OSCE participating States in implementing policies and practices that meet relevant OSCE commitments and international legal standards in the field of migrant integration. It does so by building the capacity and raising the awareness of those involved in migrant integration policies and processes.
