The KapaCITY project is the initiative of several organisations working in Slovakia: Human Rights League, Foundation of Milan Šimečka, OZ Marginal and Centre for ethnicity and cultural research. It is an online educational tool for (not only) employees of local governments and cooperating organisations who come into contact with residents of the city, municipality, or region from abroad.
The website aims to help people get acquainted with the stay of foreigners in Slovakia and the related rights and obligations. It is intended primarily for employees of municipal and local authorities and offices of self-governing regions and school principals, employees of social services facilities, charities, and non-governmental organisations. The project is co-financed by the European Union from the Fund for Asylum, Migration and Integration, Home Affairs Funds.
It is also dealing with the issue of employment and entrepreneurship of migrants/refugees indirectly.
Aims: The program KapaCITY tackles the issue of unpreparedness of local government for the inclusion of migrants.
Results: An online website is available, with supporting information and materials tackling several issues, including the employment and entrepreneurship of refugees and migrants.
