“A brochure is not enough” – how an integration seminar helps holders of international protection find their way
The first two integration seminars have taken place as part of the New Home in the Czech Republic project. One was for Russian-speaking and the other for Chinese-speaking holders of international protection. The seminars offer a helping hand at a time when newcomers are often left on their own without the necessary information.

A historic moment. "Welcome to the Czech Republic" project has held its first conference.
Together in one place for the first time. At the end of September, Prague hosted the first-ever conference for the "Welcome to the Czech Republic" project. It brought together everyone involved in providing adaptation and integration courses for newly arrived foreigners across the country.

Welcome to the Czech Republic! The spot for the adaptation-integration courses is out now.
Want to try Czech beer? See the Charles Bridge? Have some svíčková with cream sauce? What should most newcomers from non-EU countries do after arriving in the Czech Republic? First and foremost, sign up for the "Welcome to the Czech Republic" adaptation-integration course. That’s exactly what influencer Andrea from Venezuela talks about in our new spot.
Let's learn to say NO! We have successfully completed the Speak Up summer school.
We need to talk about domestic violence! That is the motto of the Speak Out project, which addresses this topic within the Roma community, where it is still often a taboo. Prevention also plays a key role, which is why we organized a summer school for young Roma from the Manushe junior group.
Language is essential for integration. We are launching Czech language courses for Ukrainian refugees.
Although the number of temporary protection holders from Ukraine who speak Czech is growing in the Czech Republic, 20% of them still do not speak the language at all. This alarming figure is a challenge for both the Ukrainian community and Czech society.
After All, We Are Neighbors. For the sixth time this year, and right in the middle of a storm.
It’s become a tradition. At the end of June, we always meet at Na Pankráci park by Café Na půl cesty to enjoy a wonderful multicultural evening filled with music, dance, theater, and exotic food. This time, however, a wild thunderstorm threw a wrench in our plans, and everything went differently than intended.
