We invite you to the next networking meeting, taking place in April as part of the “Together on Interculturality” series. The topic of the meeting will be knowledge – both formal knowledge gathered by various institutions and grassroots knowledge created in local communities with the involvement of migrants and refugees.
When and where?
We will meet in person on Monday 22 April (13:00–15:30) at Przejście Dialogu (Passage of Dialogue, ul. Świdnicka 19).
What will happen at the meeting?
At the meeting, we will present estimates of the number of Wrocław residents, including migrants and refugees, based on municipal 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 a space and tools for sharing knowledge.
