Starting in 2015, the eight cities which have supported The<\/em> Encyclopedia of Migrants<\/em> project all committed to acquiring a copy of the paper version, which was the only absolute condition for localities wanting taking part. Partners such as third-sector organisations, municipal authorities and institutions took responsibility on a local level for publically presenting the Encyclopedia<\/em> and increasing awareness of it by developing a long-term dynamic in the form of exhibitions, readings, debates, associated projects and any other initiatives they may wish to implement or support. The official handover ceremonies are scheduled from 4 March 2017 (in Rennes) to 28 June 2017 (Gibraltar).<\/strong><\/p>\n
