COUNSELLING AND SERVICES




MIGRANT INTEGRATION – IOM ACTIVITIES

There are over 167 thousand foreign nationals with residence permit In Slovakia.
They represent 3.07% of the total population of Slovakia. Citizens from
countries that are not Member States of the European Union (so-called third
country nationals) represent 66.5% of the total number of foreign nationals in
Slovakia. Despite the fact that the Slovak Republic is among EU countries with
the lowest share of foreign nationals within the population, the number of
foreign nationals has increased several times, and their numbers have grown
since the accession of the Slovak republic to the EU. This migration trend leads
to greater cultural as well as religious diversity, and according to various
surveys, the majority population does not have sufficient information on
migration and thus persists to have prejudices and stereotypes.

IOM in Slovakia responds to these trends by implementing the following
activities in the field of integration of foreign nationals:


DIRECT ASSISTANCE AND COUNSELLING IN INTEGRATION FOR FOREIGNERS IN SR

IOM‘s key program in the field of integration of foreigners in Slovakia, is the
IOM Migration Information Centre (MIC), which provides to its clients –
third-country nationals – free legal and social counselling, labour counselling
including job seeking assistance, retraining  courses and courses of Slovak
language and supports community life of foreign nationals in Slovakia.

More information on: www.mic.iom.sk


CAPACITY BUILDING OF PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD OF MIGRATION

From 2010 to 2015, IOM organized trainings and workshops for employees of the
state Administration, local Authorities and Non-Governmental Organizations, who
work with third-country nationals. Trainings provided by IOM emphasized
reinforcement of knowledge in various aspects of migration and integration of
foreign nationals, to enhance intercultural and communication skills and mutual
cooperation among various institutions providing services to foreign nationals.

RAISING AWARENESS ON MIGRATION

In the past, IOM has carried out several activities which helped to raise
awareness on migration and migrants in Slovakia and to remove barriers between
the native citizens and foreign nationals:

MIGRANTS IN THE SPOTLIGHT: TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING FOR MEDIA
REPRESENTATIVES AND STUDENTS

IOM in Slovakia and five other European countries, held an international media
competition on migration and professional workshops by means of which it
increased professional capacity of current and future media professionals, which
should help providing the public with high-quality media coverage through
balanced information on migration and thus to reduce stereotypes and prejudices
towards the migrants.

More information.

NEXT DOOR FAMILY EU

This international project, in an original way, united native families and those
of foreign nationals through mutual lunches in seven European countries. Due to
personal contact, the foreign nationals had a unique chance to gain personal
experience with Slovak natives and the natives had the opportunity to host a
lunch for foreign nationals living in Slovakia at their homes and thus to
overcome mutual prejudices and barriers. In a number of European cities, such
family meetings were filmed and the footage was later used to create a
documentary called Next Door Family.

More information.

WE ARE AT HOME HERE

Within the project, IOM prepared and released a documentary film, didactic
material and an information poster, which all serve to introduce well balanced
and substantiated information on migration to the public and also serve as
educational resources for teachers and lecturers. Teaching staff may also use
this material to introduce the topic of migration at schools and lecturers to
use it in the training process of professionals working with foreigners.

RESEARCH ON VARIOUS ASPECTS OF MIGRATION

CAUSES, FORMS AND CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST THIRD COUNTRY NATIONALS IN SR

In Slovakia, IOM examined the experiences of migrants with violence and abuse in
the context of public places, domestic violence and violence at the workplace.
Based on the research, IOM carried out an analysis on the phenomenon of violence
against third country nationals, to form the basis for the introduction of
effective legislative, political and practical measures aimed at preventing,
detecting, combating violence and addressing its consequences. Results of the
research are published in the publication Migrants' Experiences with Violence in
Slovakia.

MIGRATION IN THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC FOLLOWING ITS ACCESSION TO THE EU (2004 –
2008) – ANALYSIS OF MIGRATION TRENDS AND PUBLIC ATTITUDES TOWARD ISSUES OF
MIGRATION AND INTEGRATION OF FOREIGNERS

In the first component of research, IOM analysed the main elements of migration
(legal and illegal migration, labour migration and emigration and
naturalization) for a period of four years following Slovakia's accession to the
EU. Research outlined the impact of migration on Slovak society, including
demography, economy and the labour market, and mapped the evolution of migration
management and current challenges of Slovak migration policy. Results of the
research are published in a study Migration Trends in the Slovak Republic after
Its Accession to the EU (2004-2008).

The second component of research focused on identification, representative
survey, questionnaire survey, qualitative survey with focus groups and
semi-structured interviews with public policy makers and experts, analysis and
presentation of Slovak public attitudes towards foreign migration, integration
and employment of migrants. Results of the research, along with recommendations
for communication strategies and information campaigns on migration and
integration of foreign nationals, are published in a study Public Attitudes
toward Foreigners and Foreign Migration in the Slovak Republic.

Information on other IOM activities in the field of integration of foreign
nationals may be found here.
