We invite you to the next networking meeting in the “Together on Interculturality” series, taking place in April. The topic of the meeting will be knowledge – both formal knowledge collected by various institutions and grassroots knowledge created in the local community with the involvement of migrants and refugees.
When and where?
We will meet in person on Monday 22 April (13:00–15.30) at Passage of Dialogue (Przejście Dialogu) (ul. Świdnicka 19).
What will happen at the meeting?
At the meeting we will learn estimated figures for the number of Wrocław residents, including migrants and refugees, based on city statistics. An expert from the Statistical Office in Wrocław will explain where and how to look for statistical data. We will hear a presentation summarising the results of the quantitative and qualitative study “Living Conditions and Quality of Life in Wrocław – the City’s New Residents”, and we will also talk about local knowledge co-created by migrants in cooperation with non-governmental organisations. Together we will consider how to create space and tools for sharing knowledge.
