Intercultural meeting: islam
10/09/20
We would like to invite you for another of our intercultural meetings. This time its focus is going to be Islam. Together we are going to learn what do those who follow Islam believe in. We are going to do so from a point of view of a person raised without being a believer and therefore in a matter that is comprehensible even for an ateist. We have also invited Mr Ahsan who we share his story.
- When: on Monday, 26th October from 6 PM
- Where: online on Skype
If you are interested in attending please send an email to konradova@migrace.com to register.
We will send link by email to registered participants.
The meeting is going to be in English and it is going to be moderated by Marek Procházka.
We are looking forward to meeting you.

We Have Organized an Online Debate with Migrants and Roma Women
07/07/20
The Association for Integration and Migration (SIMI), the Czech Women's Lobby (ČŽL) and the Roma Women's Group Manushe (Word 21) have joined forces to point out women who are not visible or heard in society. These institutions organized a joint debate, which allowed such women to talk about their problems in an emergency in the Czech Republic and to point out some of the problems that minority women in the Czech Republic face.
Each of them came up with a different story, each went through different challenges, regarding health, work, family or personal issues. However, they all combined a determination to overcome the pandemic crisis with a positive attitude and, if possible, they helped other people around them.
