Overview

This half-day policy colloquium is organised by the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE).

The event is prompted by the completion of a major piece of work by the University of Oxford and Birkbeck, University of London, with support from the ESRC and European Fund for the Integration of Third Country Nationals.

The research included both a survey and in-depth interviews with the UK's new citizens, and explored the relationship between integration and citizenship and experiences of the naturalisation process, which includes ESOL with Citizenship courses.

Ben Gidley will be among the speakers.
