indicates that:
EU-moblie citizens need information regarding
practival issues
Information should be provided in the language
of the EU-mobile citizens
For lower skilled EU-mobile citizens: a physical
information point providing information and
support
![Page 10: Policies for EU-mobile citizens: Best practices on the local level€¦ · Policies for EU-mobile citizens: Best practices on the local level Inge Razenberg Platform Integration &](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052006/601a0a485462ca3da40f5329/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Best practices on the local level:
language policies
Investing in language education is essential
for integration
![Page 12: Policies for EU-mobile citizens: Best practices on the local level€¦ · Policies for EU-mobile citizens: Best practices on the local level Inge Razenberg Platform Integration &](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052006/601a0a485462ca3da40f5329/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Language policies – best practice
Municipality of Amsterdam provides language
courses to EU mobile citizens
Thematic courses: language and work,
languages and finances
“A language course has to
be practical. You have to
be able to go to the doctor
and bring you child to school.”
![Page 13: Policies for EU-mobile citizens: Best practices on the local level€¦ · Policies for EU-mobile citizens: Best practices on the local level Inge Razenberg Platform Integration &](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052006/601a0a485462ca3da40f5329/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Best practices on the local level:
labour market
EU-mobile citizens often have a job.
However; unstable jobs and jobs below their
educational level.
Recommendation: invest in the translation of
human capital to the Dutch labour market
![Page 14: Policies for EU-mobile citizens: Best practices on the local level€¦ · Policies for EU-mobile citizens: Best practices on the local level Inge Razenberg Platform Integration &](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052006/601a0a485462ca3da40f5329/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Labour market – best practice
Municipality Peel & Maas; project Language &
Work
Dual program:
Language; information regarding Dutch
employee skills, the workplace, etc.
Education; Dutch certificates (BBL-traject)
In this way, EU mobile citizens (who are
planning to stay) are helped to find a higher
skilled job and their potential can be fully
utilized

Best practices on the local level: social
contacts with natives
The local research for Amsterdam indicates
that EU mobile citizens have difficulty
forming friendships with natives
Labour migrants sometimes live segregated
from the native population
![Page 16: Policies for EU-mobile citizens: Best practices on the local level€¦ · Policies for EU-mobile citizens: Best practices on the local level Inge Razenberg Platform Integration &](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052006/601a0a485462ca3da40f5329/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

buddies stay in contact. In this
way forming new, lasting
social contacts.”

Best practices on the local level:
