International Community is part of a regional initiative by Vækstforum, the Central Denmark Region growth forum, to welcome and retain international labour. The project has two main aims:
- to facilitate welcoming and integration of international labour by participating companies
- to support and develop integration of international labour in the local community and to help newcomers feel welcome.
To achieve these aims, the project is organised in seven consortiums across the region. International Community is part of the consortium in Eastern Jutland. This cooperation involves the municipalities of Samsø, Odder, Skanderborg, Favrskov, Syddjurs, Norddjurs and Aarhus – also known as the 7-municipality cooperation. The aim of this cooperation is to further development of the business community in the Aarhus area.
