The German government has approved a package of measures aimed at promoting the integration of immigrants into society, though critics say it does not go far enough, EURACTIV Germany reports. The National Action Plan on Integration, adopted on Tuesday (9 March) during an Integration Summit, foresees a five-stage integration process accompanying migrants from before they arrive in Germany right through to active participation in society via work and civic engagement. The summit focused on the final phases of the plan designed to promote “growing together” and societal “cohesion” with initiatives to promote civic education, equality in media, sports and culture and combat discrimination.
