Support me in the 'Transatlantic Talks' project! This initiative brings conversations about Latin American literature and culture, translated into Czech, to life. Help me to bridge cultures!
I am participating in a training program for community organizers and have launched this campaign to support its mission of providing tools, mentorship, and opportunities to people with migrant backgrounds, empowering us to become agents of change in our community. Participating in the program will help me to organize my project entitled “Transatlantic talks”.
I would like to strengthen the community by "Transatlantic Talks" dedicated to literature. My idea is to build a bridge between Spanish-speaking cultures and the Czech Republic. The goal is to host a series of lectures by experts on topics related to literature and culture, with simultaneous translation into Czech. I believe that organizing discussions that bring Latin American and Czech societies closer together is key to fostering meaningful intercultural dialogue. This requires facilitating activities in which the Spanish-speaking community can share their culture with the local community in the local language, in a setting that is not strictly academic.

For me literature is a way to build bridges between cultures, an open door to understand the other and ultimately to realize that we are not so different.

"I would like to create welcoming space for young mothers of diverse backgrounds, especially Ukrainian refugees, to come together, learn Czech, and gain skills needed for the Czech job market. With activities tailored for both mothers and children, the program will empower women to build connections and pursue sustainable careers in their new home."
💪This project addresses the low level of civic engagement among residents with a migration background, who make up a quarter of Prague's population. Since most of these residents lack voting rights, their perspectives, voices, and needs remain underrepresented at the political level. Civic engagement thus becomes one of the few ways for individuals and groups to actively contribute to shaping public opinion and influence social issues that affect all city residents.
👀 As part of the crowdfunding campaign several participants created their own challenges – individual undraising campaigns. This helps us in raising donations. Any donation made to their campaign will be automatically credited to this MigAct campaign.
