Moving from New York City to Slovenia was one of the boldest decisions I’ve ever made. As a Puerto Rican American, I grew up in a city where diversity was the norm, and switching between English and Spanish was second nature. I never imagined that language would become such a major hurdle in my daily life.

It focused on the Nomadic Yurt Project and the nomadic traditions that existed in Kazakhstan before the Soviet era. The discussion explored how these traditions had survived to the present day, how they had evolved, and how they were reflected in various arts and crafts.
The Nomadic Yurt Project aims to collaborate with local communities in building a yurt, as constructing one was a collective experience.

VABILO
Javna skupščina: Stanovanja za vse – stanovanjski izzivi migrantov
(please find PDF report below)
Adequate housing, defined as secure, affordable, and accessible, is recognised as a fundamental right in numerous international and European legal frameworks. However, national governments, including Slovenia, often fail to adequately implement these principles, particularly in the context of migrant housing.
Opis projekta
Projekt GEtCoheSive se osredotoča na horizontalne izzive, omenjene na programskem področju, zlasti na neenake možnosti – tako med prebivalci različnih regij v srednji Evropi kot med prebivalci znotraj iste regije – za enakovredno sodelovanje v družbi in dostojno kakovost življenja.
“Integration happens in every village, city and region, where migrants live, work, attend school, and are members of clubs and associations. Although the central government often decides integration policies, the local level plays a key role.” Topic 2 of the AMIF call rightly explains what we have already experienced and advocated in previous projects that local integration is key for migrants and communities.
