From September 2006 through March 2008 the Association Health and Family participates as partner in the European project "INTI Migrants Integration
Territorial Index (MITI)", led by the Italian Research Institute IDOS-Caritas Migrants.
The aim of the project is to articulate population, social and labour indicators that help to interpret the integration of immigrants into the host societies, being the territorial unit of the study the regions of the states, in our case the autonomous communities.
The project involves organizations of five states of the European Union: Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and United Kingdom. The Health and Family Association participates in the project analyzing the reality of Spain, Catalonia and Barcelona.
Is intended, with this initiative, that the entity articulates not only social intervention programs that help improve the welfare of immigrants, but also make contributions in social research to frame programmes and projects of intervention
Salud y Familia promotes international initiatives and COOPERATION NETWORKS to improve women's health and the well-being of the most vulnerable family members.
Barcelona is one of the cities in the Mediterranean area that has recently become a coordinating centre of initiatives and projects for the multi-cultural, political and economical diversity of the area.
The Mediterranean region is now experiencing a period of migration and needs to adapt quickly. That is why children in this area are not only vulnerable now but will also be vulnerable in the future. For this reason health and social care for children’s problems are an investment in human resources and tolerance.
These activities are aimed at creating a network of health and social institutions, experts and non-governmental organisations which are playing an active role in reproductive and infant-health development in this area.
