  Handbook for the use of the Social Planning Instrument

  Type of output:Tool

  The Social Planning Instrument (SPI) supports mid and long-term social planning to take the interests of both the local natives and the new residents into account.

  The SPI encompasses the following parts: the process within the municipality, a questionnaire in the form of a user-friendly online tool, and a handbook. The prime focus of the SPI lies on the following main questions: What is the quality of life of immigrants and non-natives? How can their quality of life be improved? Which services and provisions in the municipality foster a quick integration for all types of immigration – from internal to forced migration? The handbook is available in English, French, German, Italian and Slovenian language.

  Action Plan

  Type of output:Tool

  Seven pilots have defined an action plan with measures to improve the quality of life, from an immigrants´ perspective, based on the social planning instrument developed by the PlurAlps project.

  In two workshops with an extended working group ideas for improving the quality of life were collected on the basis of the results of the self-evaluation in the online tool. After that, the ideas were reformulated into measures. There was no public presentation of the action plan in any of the pilot communities. During the process instead, it turned out that the measures should first be intensively discussed in several working groups and political committees.

In total, more than 80 organisations and institutions in the six participating Alpine countries were involved in the implementation of the pilot projects. The experiences from the pilot projects are summarized in this toolbox. The goal is to share what has been learned, make processes transparent and inspire further ideas and projects in other regions. The PlurAlps partners developed this toolbox as a useful resource for fostering pluralism as a key for local development in the Alpine Space.

  Fostering pluralism as a key to local development in the Alpine Space

  Type of output:Strategy

  The PlurAlps White Paper provides policy recommendations aimed at increasing the territorial attractiveness and social cohesion of the Alpine Region through innovative measures that foster pluralism and address migration.

  The recommendations focus on municipal and inter-municipal levels of engagement. More specifically, they present approaches for public and civil society actors working at different levels (local, regional, national and transnational, including the business sector) that encourage social, cultural and economic innovation, and support pluralism and prosperity at a local level. These actions aim to create more inclusive labour markets and societies for all - locals and migrants - in line with the principles enshrined in the European Pillar of Social Rights. The report is available in English, French, German, Italian and Slovenian language.
