Rural Ambassadors for Inclusive Territories

Our ambassadors are people - refugees, migrants and elected representatives from small and medium communities - with first hand experience of inclusion and integration for newcomers in rural areas of France. 

They share their stories, ideas and inputs for good practice in welcome and integration in rural communities, and advocate for more and better integration actions at local, regional, national and European level.

 

 “When we arrived here we didn't know anyone, and it was people who didn't know us who came to us to help us integrate. Now when I see people in difficulty, I want to do the same and reach out to others."

— Maher, Share ambassador in Saône-et-Loire
