The peer-learning sessions of the European Projects Hub for the Social Economy continue—an initiative co-designed with Weco Impresa Sociale and supported by the Chamber of Commerce of Turin and the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation.

On May 28, a new session was held at Vol.To, dedicated to the AMIF – Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, one of the main financial instruments of the European Union to support policies aimed at including third-country nationals.

What is the AMIF call?

The AMIF programme funds projects that aim to improve the social, economic, and cultural integration of migrants in EU Member States. It forms part of the Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion 2021–2027 and the Joint Implementation Plan of the Pact on Migration and Asylum, with the goal of fostering more inclusive, cohesive, and resilient societies.

The currently open call provides a total budget of €34 million and supports project proposals under five strategic topics:

  1. socio-economic integration of migrant women
  2. access to healthcare
  3. development of digital skills
  4. complementary pathways related to education
  5. support to child protection systems for migrant minors

Actions must be carried out through transnational partnerships involving public and private actors (NGOs, training institutions, local authorities, migrant-led organizations), strengthening cooperation among European countries.

The workshop

The workshop focused in particular on three of the five topics: the integration of migrant women, healthcare, and digital skills.

After the presentation of the AMIF programme, two good practices from the local area were shared:

  1. ERI – European Research Institute, with the SAFER project
  2. Caritas and S-NODI, with the GROWTH project

A technical session followed, outlining the key features of the call, the application process, and what makes a project proposal competitive—with an eye on the submission deadline: 16 September 2025.

The day concluded with a project design lab, where participants worked in small groups to develop project ideas, applying the value chain model: inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact.

Through events like this, the Hub continues to serve as a reference point for making Europe more accessible to local organisations—strengthening their ability to successfully navigate and access European funding opportunities.
