Multicultural Center Prague (Czech Republic)
(www: http://www.mkc.cz)Local Project: Activities of the Multicultural Center Prague
Since we were founded in 1999, we have been busy working on new educational, cultural and information initiatives. We organize workshops, courses, international seminars, debates, film screenings and book readings for children, students, teachers, librarians and just about everybody else. Additionally, we also run websites devoted to issues such as migration and multicultural librarianship. We have a well-stocked public library designed for those with an interest in multicultural issues.
Role of the participant organization in the project:
MKC Prague is responsible for expertise in multiculturalism and multicultural libraries. Its role is to be an expert on the multicultural demands, and potential of local inhabitants (immigrants and members of the majority society).

Exhibition "My home" of foreign artists living in Prague
[2.8.10]The Multicultural Center Prague and the Municipal Library in Prague prepare an exhibition "My home" of foreign artists living in Prague. The exhibition will be held in September 2010 in the Municipal Library branch in Opatov. Currently, there are a lot of foreigners living in Prague. Some of them devote their free time creating something new and original. It often happens however, that foreigners don’t have all the necessary contacts or enough money to exhibit their work. The aim of the unique exhibition “My home” is to give a possibility to foreigners to demonstrate their creative achievements and to acquaint the public with those people for whom the Czech Republic has become a temporary or a permanent home. The exhibition is to be placed in all halls of the Municipal Library branch in Opatov, including study halls and children’s section where all the work of children from foreign families will be presented.
