Representatives of the Network IQ were among the 700 or so participants in the 2018 International Metropolis Conference which took place in Sydney, Australia, from 29 October to 2 November 2018. In a number of workshops, representatives of the Network IQ partnered up with international experts, public officials and practitioners to discuss a diverse range of areas that are key to the economic and social inclusion of migrants and refugees – from skills recognition to intercultural development. The IQ workshops were met with considerable interest by conference participants, and they led to thought-provoking cross-country comparisons and vibrant discussions.
For the Network IQ, the conference constituted a valuable opportunity to showcase its results and share its experiences, reflect self-critically on its work, learn about other successful approaches, and expand relevant networks of exchange and partnership. More information about the Network IQ’s activities at Metropolis is available here. Presentations and materials will be uploaded shortly.
