Christmas is upon us. Just in case you still don’t have your gifts ready, we have a great two-in-one offer: buy your gifts online and do a good deed. When shopping, you can donate to our Association for Integration and Migration (SIMI) without paying anything extra! How does it work? Go to www.givt.cz and, before shopping, choose our association from the list of whom you wish to donate a part of the purchase price.

We would like to say thank you to all our great volunteers who helps us in our activities to support foreigners in the Czech Republic. Thank you and it will  be our pleasure to work with you in the following years.

In November we organised the cooking course of Tatar specialities with Elmira.

Elmira teached us how to prepare traditional kystybyj, Azu or Kosh tele.

All recipes you can find in our SIMI Foodblogu.

You can also download colection card with tatar recipes zde.

In SIMI, we regularly employ international interns. This spring, we hosted Busra, an intern from Turkey, who is enrolled in the master degree of gender studies for international students on Faculty of Humanities UK.

Busra showed great interest in our work and helped us mostly with research concerning the situation of migrant women in the Czech Republic and in Europe. We were, on the other hand, interested in how she actually enjoys living in Prague.

SIMI monitors the events related to new establishment of the European Commission. We share an action made in this respect within the European Network of Migrant Women, which we are a member of.

Radical Girlsss, a group of young feminist women acting within the cited network, addressed a letter to the new president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the Commissioners Margaritis Schinas (portfolio “Protecting our European Way of Life”), Helena Dalli (“Equality" portfolio), Ylva Johansson (“Home Affairs” portfolio).

On World Mental Health Day, ENAR publishes a new toolkit on race and mental health at work.

Racism, discrimination and structural inequalities intersect with mental health and have an impact on the mental health of people of colour in the workplace.

The toolkit explores how we can understand the links between racism, inequality, and wellbeing. It provides a non-exhaustive summary of available evidence related to racism, mental health and wellbeing, exploring the individual, organisational and structural levels

We apologize, but due to a training the Legal and Social Department will be closed on Wednesday 9th October 2019. Thank you for your understanding.
