Visit to Mucenieki

The task for the next meeting in Tavira, Portugal is to talk about and discuss the problems that are connected with the integration of students from different nationalities or ethnic groups in our school. We started the task with a trip to Reception Centre of Asylum Seekers in Mucenieki. Mucenieki is a village in Ropazi municipality. As the integration problem for many people starts with finding a new country, a new place where to live, it has been useful to have a look inside the premises that provide the first shelter for people who have been in danger in their own countries. Some facts turned out quite shocking: the money allotted from the Latvian government, the prohibition to work legally, the size of the dwelling rooms. But the possibilities to spend their time are various: computer classes; a gym; a stadium; a library; children's room. The video will show the discussion after the trip and some photos.
