2. 2 DCLG’s Approach to Integration DCLG is the Department responsible for building strong, integrated communities. Under our approach to Integration, Creating the Conditions, we seek to build a common identity by celebrating the things people have in common, encouraging responsibility and participation, and increasing social mobility. We have put in place a suite of 40+ “exemplar projects”, each demonstrating a different aspect of Creating the Conditions. These projects cover all sorts of themes… English LanguageCommunity Music Asian Cuisine Reporting Hate Crime OnlineSport

3. Approach to Integration We aim for projects to be inclusive, to encourage participants to engage with people from different backgrounds, and foster a sense of local identity and belonging. But, there are particular areas of the country which face greater integration challenges, so projects are naturally concentrated in these areas. DCLG does not believe in targeting money and projects at single groups – ethnic or religious. We want projects to be open to all, and to reflect the makeup of their area. 3
