Cinformi, established in 2001 and based on collaboration between public and private social bodies, initially supported the Police Headquarters in the administrative procedures for residence permits. On the ground of an agreement between the Autonomous Province and the Police Headquarters of Trento, it was possible to activate simplified procedures for the request and the renewal of residence permits for foreign nationals.
The range of action has widened over the years to respond effectively to the stabilization of immigration in Trentino and to accompany the community in the face of the challenges and future scenarios that the migration phenomenon entails.
The three areas of intervention of Cinformi are information (information points on the territory, training to make services able to respond to differently expressed needs), sensitization (events and initiatives on the territory, study and research activities, integrated communication project) and reception (applicants for international protection, unaccompanied foreign minors, victims of trafficking for exploitation).
