abstract: 'As the configuration of the recent European political scene testifies,

  there is an upward trend of the nationalistic and xenophobic atmosphere

  within the EU societies, which is undoubtedly being reinforced in the

  recent years, due to both the large refugee flows and the terrorist acts

  occurring across Europe. Accordingly, the Gallup study of attitudes

  toward immigration found people in Europe the most negative in the world

  towards immigration. The majority of residents (52\%) said immigration

  levels in their countries should be decreased. And all that while

  migrants constitute the 4.6\% of the European population, a percentage

  which could be `translated'' into numbers as 20 million of migrants.

  Consequently, the aforementioned situation invokes a matter of intricacy

  in order for the NGOs and other organizations, who are dealing with the

  issue of the integration of migrants and refugees, to work and emphasize

  on the notions of global interdependencies and equality, with the

  oversimplified argumentation occurs to be the wide range of resources

  that strengthen the dominant narrative.

  The innovative character of the project FATI (From Alienation to

  Inclusion, https://www.projectfati.com) lies on the effective

  collaboration of the project partners, who are seeking to create

  activities by developing a unique on-line environment which contains

  comprehensive training modules on social integration of migrants and

  refugees into EU societies, while seeking to eliminate all those social,

  linguistic and psychological barriers which prevent migrants and

  refugees from being integrated in the new environment. Also, the

  environment of the project is being endowed with a variety of other

  pioneer digital tools and applications, specially designed for the

  creation and establishment of a strong network amongst European NGOs,

  social enterprises and charities for migrants and refugees, thus forming

  strong alliances.

  Accordingly, the ultimate aim of the project is to bring together such

  organizations, thus adopting a more collective and therefore effective

  action. Simultaneously, the e-platform involves the wider EU public,

  mainly through the `Library of Commodities'' which operates for the

  purpose of provision of humanitarian aid, as the wider European public

  gains the opportunity to offer its used objects to refugee settlements

  located in the partner-countries. Additionally, through a `Directory of

  European NGOs, social enterprises and charities for migrants and

  refugees'', being created as a part of the outputs of the project, a

  strong network of such organizations emerges, therefore allowing their

  actions to acquire global dimension, primarily by using volunteers and

  services of other EU organizations located in other countries; such

  operation is being considered the initial point for the development of a

  mutual European policy on migrants and refugees.'
