Last 15 May, on the occasion of the ICC Experts’ visit to Montréal (Canada) the ICC Delegation and the University of Montreal held an information meeting to present the Intercultural Cities Programme to the Union of Municipalities of Quebec (UMQ). The meeting brought together around thirty participants representing Quebec's local authorities and academia.

The meeting started with presentations of the activities implemented by the Network of municipalities of Quebec on immigration and intercultural relations (RÉMIRI) and the Research Laboratory on intercultural relations (LABRRI) of the University of Montreal. It then focussed on the ICC tools to address migration and intercultural relations, political communication in the era of super-diversity, and dynamics between cities and governments for promoting multi-level cooperation through the ICC Policy Lab for inclusive integration. A round table on the functioning of ICC national networks closed the meeting.
