A few interesting things about a foreign study visit in Portugal

At the end of May a foreign study visit of some SIMI workers at the Portuguese organisation Solidariedade Imigrante (SOLIM)  in Lisboa took place. It was a part of the project ESF which is focused at the cooperation between the non-governmental sector and the job centres in the area of integration of migrant workers. The aim of the study visit was to inform the Czech delegation about the situation of work migration and social integration of migrant workers in Portugal and about how local non-governmental organisations and Portuguese public sector at local and national levels implement the relevant measures.

The Czech delegation met the representatives of the job centre in Lisboa, a social care worker from the municipality Cascais or the director of a Guinea Buissau migrant association and visited migrant districts Odivelas and Fim do Mundo in Lisboa suburbs. The Czech delegation consisted of Kateřina Dederová, Pavel Duba and Alexandra Trochtová.
