iv) Working towards the development of local sustainable development action plans for certain localities. The specific objectives of the project are as follows: 1) Increasing awareness amongst the Maltese business sector, consumers, civil society and local government regarding the SDGs and the collective responsibility of all to take action for their achievement; 2) Engaging all players in constructive dialogue and action on Responsible Business for the achievement of global sustainability; and 3) Contributing to behaviour change of Maltese businesses through awareness and engagement and thus encourage the incorporation of responsible policies, practices and collaboration with local stakeholders to ensure local community development approaches. Working Roma This project is funded by the European Union – JUST/2014/RDIS/ AG/DISC – which aims to provide new tools, based on the exchange of best practices, to prevent intolerance in the labour market towards migrants. The majority of working age migrants and foreigners in Central and Southern Europe do not have a job and many have been out of work for a considerable length of time. The high levels of unemployment of working migrant people are most often perceived as a problem of scarce supply-side in the labour market, due to low levels of education and professional qualifications of migrants and foreigners. However, there is another dimension, less spoken and recognised, that is discrimination. 11
Discrimination significantly aggravates the situation and causes systemic exclusion from employment for a large number of the migrant and foreign communities. CORE Platform has partnered with Paragon Europe and has embarked on a mission to overcome this discriminatory environment in Malta and within the Maltese business community. In May and June 2017, the first workshops on the issue were held at the premises of the Foundation for Human Resources Development in Sliema and Paragon Europe in Mosta respectively, with a number of entrepreneurs, employers, as well as the migrants and foreigners themselves actively participating in the debates. 12
