DiGiN Project
The DiGiN Project, funded by the European Union under the CERV-2023-EQUAL call, is dedicated to integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) across European municipalities that reflect the broad demographics of local societies. In response to the growing diversity of European cities and the urgent need to address institutional discrimination and inequalities, our project focuses on embedding DEI interventions as structural and sustainable parts of municipal organisations.
