This project is funded by the City of Prague. The conference “Through Communication to Integration: International Perspective, Local Context” is being organized by Integration Centre Prague.
How to communicate with and about migrants? What is the role of the political representatives in the integration process? What about traditional and #newmedia? What are the trends in other European cities?
These and other topics will be discussed by delegates coming from state and local administration, NGO sector, new and traditional media, and migrant communities.
The first day of the conference consists of lectures and panel discussions followed by evening social/networking event. The second (half) day will be dedicated to workshops.
