Projet ECMI

The Aspect of Culture in the Social Inclusion of Ethnic Minorities: Assessing the Cultural Politics of Six Members States of the European Union.

The ECMI project proposes to evaluate the cultural policies introduced in National Action Plans (NAPs) on Social Inclusion under the European Union's Open Method of Co-ordination (OMC) by six member states (Estonia, Latvia, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Sweden) in terms of their impact on promoting social inclusion of ethnic minorities, including Roma/Sinti groups. The specific added value of this evaluation will be the piloting of a set of Common Inter-Cultural Indicators (CICIs) feasible for cost-effectiveness analyses and benchmarking within the EU.
