The EXCHANGES Partnership

'EXCHANGES' is the name of an EQUAL Theme 1 transnational partnership involving three national development partnerships (DPs) which worked together to promote the social and vocational integration of asylum seekers in Europe.

The three development partnerships in EXCHANGES are from Hungary, France and England:

• The FAAR DP on France, led by CIMADE (a national non-governmental organisation-NGO).
• The EASI DP in England, led by Islington Training Network (a London-based NGO).
• The ESELY DP in Hungary, led by Menedek (a national NGO).

The transnational partnership disseminates information, shares good practice and develops common policies with European partners. The partnership was established through a Transnational Cooperation Agreement (TCA).
