Good practices can be regarded both as processes or interventions that would be easilytransferred,andalsoasprocessesofplanningandsynthesisingresearchfromsources.Goodpractices,orbestpractices,are,sometimes,usedwiththesamemeaning.Bestpractice,intheinternational migration glossary, means “to further the application of existing norms andprinciples,bothattheinternationalandthenationallevels”,andarecharacterizedby“beinginnovative, developing creative solutions; showing a positive impact on the level ofimplementation of migrants’ rights; having a sustainable effect, especially by involving
