The Council of Europe’s Intercultural Cities (ICC) Programme provides assistance to public authorities willing to implement the intercultural integration approach in communities with culturally diverse populations. The members of the programme commit to reviewing their governance, policies, discourse and practices from an intercultural point of view.
Composed of 83 indicators, the Intercultural Cities Index is the benchmarking tool that allows to assess where a city stands in relation to intercultural integration, where efforts should be focused in the future and which other cities can be a source of good practice in each of the policy areas monitored by the Index.
The report analysing the results of Melton (Australia) was published in April 2024 and is based on data collected by the city in 2023. Melton is to be congratulated on the range and quality of the steps it has taken as an Intercultural City and the clarity of purpose and commitment in this. The framework of the Intercultural City will hopefully continue to serve the city well in realising its ambitions of equality, diversity, interaction and participation in particular with the forthcoming publication of its next Intercultural Plan. We hope that the suggestions made in this report will be a resource in achieving ongoing visible and tangible results as an Intercultural City.
