Research on minorities and integration

Dear participants,

I don't want you to spend time searching for information, so I'm giving you a list of references you can use to prepare for tomorrow's interviews and possibly jump start your research for the debate next week.

Bear in mind that most of the information relates to Denmark and not specifically to the region of Southern Denmark. Durning the interviews, you'll be able to relate your findings to the situation in the region. Also be advised that there could be developments over the last few years that the sources do not cover.
