Define the task

Policy
Formulate a shared Nordic definition of integration, fostering inclusion and participation.
Recommendations
  1. Ministers from all of the Nordic countries should come together to formulate a definition of a Nordic approach to integration that goes beyond mere assimilation and aims to create inclusive societies in which individuals from different backgrounds can preserve their cultural heritage while actively engaging in the social, economic and political life of their adopted country.
  2. The definition should encompass wide-ranging measures that promote inclusive education, labour-market integration, language acquisition and social integration, with the ultimate aim of building cohesive and equitable societies.
Comment
The purpose of a Nordic definition of integration is to create a vibrant, cohesive society that celebrates diversity and in which all individuals enjoy equal opportunities to thrive.
