The seminar aims to initiate a local debate on possible ways of fostering relations between cultural organisations in Poznań and people with migrant experience. We are keen to ensure that the event is not just an academic conference, but that it engages in the discussion researchers, employees from the local government sector, staff of cultural institutions, non-governmental organisations, animators, artists and, above all, people with migration experience.
