What does the English city of Leicester have in common with Malmö? More than you might think and therefore the two cities can greatly benefit from sharing experiences. Large immigrant population is one of such similarities - Leicester and Malmö can learn from each other how to make the most of the opportunity such diversity creates.
The British Council, the Sydsvenska Dagbladet and the University of Malmö organised a discussion on models of successful intercultural integration based on the experiences of the UK's city of Leicester and the Swedish Malmö.
Experts from both the UK and Sweden explored reasons behind the Leicester’s achievements in this area and Malmö shared its successes that Leicester can learn from.
