2024│Lenka Šafránková Pavlíčková: Stereotypy z pohľadu lokálnej politiky integrácie cudzincov (v češtine)

Lenka Šafránková Pavlíčková sa vo svojej prednáške zameriava na problematiku integrácie cudzincov na lokálnej úrovni, konkrétne v meste Brno. Analyzuje výzvy, akými sú stereotypy, dezinformácie a etnocentrizmus, ktoré brzdia efektívnu integráciu cudzincov do spoločnosti. Lenka predstavuje interkultúrnu prácu v samospráve ako kľúčový nástroj na prekonávanie týchto výziev a zdôrazňuje potrebu lepšej komunikácie a koordinácie integračných politík.  Prednáška bola súčasťou 10.
