Casalecchio di Reno, Italy - Intercultural City
It’s been a considerate amount of time that the Municipality of Casalecchio di Reno has introduced an immigration policy crossing different sectors of the public Administration, of other local institutions and of the non-profit sector, aiming to build dialogue and interaction opportunities between Italians, immigrants and young people with foreign origins.
