Short description:
The day of 22/08/2019 was dedicated to host our guests, sightseeing tour in
Mateszalka, visiting plants.
Our first programme was a sightseeing tour, where we took a look on the public
institutions, cultural and historical public places with our participants. In
connection with the main topic of our project we have visited a few plants,
craftsmen this year. By the help of this step a new conversation has started,
because every company feels different about the effects of the labour migration.
We have put ourselves in the mood of the project topic.
The day of 23/08/2019 was dedicated to conference, reflections, debates.
We have asked specialists and experts in the field of labour migration for
example from the Employment Department, representatives from local companies,
leaders from the county, who are dealing with this topic as a daily routine. The
leaders of the twinned-town delegations shared their local experiences.
The day of 24/08/2019 was dedicated to workshop.
The employees were confronted with the employers, and the participants had an
opportunity to raise questions for both parties on the labour market.
The day of 25–26/08/2019 was dedicated to cultural and traditional
programs.
We invited our partners to programs and our goal was to learn, accept and deepen
each other’s cultural habits, heritage and connections.
