What’s the role of public spaces, such as libraries and cultural centres, in a person’s integration journey? Do these spaces facilitate and/or support the agency of migrants in their integration? These are some of the questions we will discuss on Communities, agency and newcomers, the upcoming online panel, organized by Kulttuurikeskus Ninho ry on 15.5.2024.
A fascinating multidisciplinary panel discussion bringing together pedagogues, cultural diversity experts, researchers and teachers, in which we’ll also discuss the importance of cooperation between such institutions, multicultural associations and other key actors.
