Dear friends,

We hope you are well and safe in this period tough for all of us.

We have great news to announce! With generous support of the British Embassy Pristina and in cooperation with our implementing partners, International Organization for Migration (IOM) will continue the implementation of the Social Inclusion project. As of August, we will further engage with communities, civil society and institutions to jointly support cohesion and reconciliation. The project will support learning of the official languages, meaningful interaction among youth and accurate media reporting.

To capture the impact of previously implemented activities, an online survey with participants of Albanian and Serbian language courses has been conducted. The report prepared by the Centre for Social Initiatives in cooperation with Office of Language Commissioner is available in Albanian (click here), Serbian (click here) and English (click here) language . The results of the survey are extremely positive, where better social interaction with other communities and increase in finding the employment opportunities were listed as the main drivers to learn other communities’ languages. 

We will keep you posted about our future activities.

Stay safe and healthy,

IOM SI Team
