CPMF

The Casa F plan, managed by the technical team of the Office for Inclusion and Cultural Diversity (GID) developing activity at the Fundão Migration Center, aims to welcome, integrate and empower refugees, ensuring basic needs such as such as accommodation, adequate food, health support, education and professional training, learning the Portuguese language and culture and helping adults integrate into the labor market.

Thus, the activity of this plan seeks to enhance integration, through technical support, legal support, health (medication, specialty consultations not covered by the SNS or urgent), professional training, translation and interpretation services and, the key point, manage the equipment of the Fundão Migration Center building (which is the reception site) to provide the greatest dignity in the embracing of newcomers.

The MIXin2 Plan, like its predecessor, is put into practice at the Fundão Migration Center, with management and execution carried out by the technical team of the GID – Office for Inclusion and Cultural Diversity of the Fundão City Council - and its main objective is the development of reception, integration and empowerment activities aimed at the local community and the migrant community (new locals) in order to promote a conscious and coordinated management of cultural diversity that encourages the integration of migrants, intercultural dialogue, cooperation and solidarity.

The "On Wheels - Migration Centre" results from the Municipality of Fundão's application for funding from the Fund for Asylum, Migration, and Integration (FAMI). This service operates across the parishes of the municipality, bridging the gap between the migrant population and essential services during the integration process. Additionally, the project is supported by a team of three mediators who enhance and facilitate the relationship between the service and the migrant community, thus ensuring effective and tailored responses. The initiative provides proximity support to migrants across the municipality, addressing bureaucratic areas, accommodation, education, training, employment, and health, and promoting inclusive and participatory citizenship. It establishes connections between migrant communities and municipal services through proximity support and the collaborative efforts of the mediators.
