Integration and mutual understanding between population groups are fostered by broad and open discussion. Therefore, the City of Rotterdam's Projectbureau Sociale Integratie (Project Bureau Social Integration) developed an action plan 'Islam and Integration' which, via expert meetings, internal debates within the Muslim communities in Rotterdam, and information meetings has led to a series of public debates about the most important subjects relating to the theme Islam & Integration.
