Networking Migrant Women in Europe

In August 2010, the European Contact Group implemented a project called Networking Migrant Women in cooperation with the migrant women organizations Maisha from Germany and AkiDwA from Ireland. The first meeting of the Networking Migrant Women project was held in Prague in February 2011, second one was held in Frankfurt in June 2011 and the third meeting is scheduled this week from October 14th 2011 in Dublin.
This project aims to promote meetings between migrants from these three countries, enabling those who are interested to get to know new people, new ideas, new project, and new activities. Migrants can mutually inspire each other, find out what works in other countries and other organizations and what could be used in their own organizations or communities.

Activities during the exchange include

• exchange of migrant integration experiences
• sharing good practices in the field of social services and integration
