Yesterday, FAB-MOVE partner Impact Hub Siracusa hosted a workshop within the projects’ framework, entitled “Microfinance, Integration and Muslim Community in Sicily”. Rosario Sapienza, IHS president and co-founder, sent the following description: “The path of the integration of Muslims in Italy is not only the religious-cultural one that marks the demands of equality that the Muslims advance on their journey from a minority to the same with the largest Italian citizenship. It also crosses broader thematic areas and categories considering that Muslims are also the many immigrants who seek full integration into new communities, whether they are economic, by integrating into the labor market that follows the rhythm driven by socio-economic mobility or more politically, through integration into the community of citizens.”
Among the discussants were e.g. Manlio Cinalli (Sciences Po, Paris), who has been seconded twice within the FAB-MOVE project, as well as Simone Piceno and Rosario Sapienza, both from Impact Hub Siracusa. More details on the event are available here.
