8. European Parliament, Committee on Culture and Education REPORT on the role of intercultural dialogue, cultural diversity and education in promoting EU fundamental values (2015/2139(INI)) ‘It should also be acknowledged that migratory peoples bring with them skills, knowledge, ideas, new approaches, entrepreneurship and cultural practices that enrich the social fabric of the communities they become part of, and that migration is part of our cultural heritage.’

9. Tibor Navracsics, Member of the Commission ‘This is precisely the point of the Paris Declaration which the Education Ministers and myself endorsed in March last year. To follow up on this declaration with concrete actions is a key priority for me.’ ‘Projects linked to equity, inclusion and non-discrimination will be substantially reinforced. In 2016, EUR 400 million will be spent on transnational projects which will … promote the integration of newly arrived migrants. In addition, a specific call will soon be released with a budget of EUR 13 million to disseminate good practices in the field of inclusion, anti-radicalisation and integration of migrants.’
