The aim of the project is to facilitate the exchange of experiences between partner organizations from Latvia, Estonia, and Sweden. Throughout the project, these organizations will share their insights and ideas on working with asylum seekers, refugees, and recipients of alternative status, promoting their integration into local communities.

The project aims to promote the cultural and socio-economic integration of Ukrainian civilians into Latvian society by providing cultural orientation courses and various integration measures. The activities offered in the project will give Ukrainian civilians versatile opportunities to get to know the local community, acquire knowledge about Latvia’s history, culture, and values, understand state administration and the importance of the rule of law, familiarize themselves with the Constitution, as well as acquire knowledge about starting a business in Latvia, participating in the activities of local communities, promoting collaboration, etc. During the project, the “Live in Latvia” associations manual which was published in June 2024 in Latvian and Ukrainian languages, will be used.

The project aims to promote the cooperation of various groups of residents of the city of Riga, including recipients of international protection, through joint, practical activities for the development of the community. Residents of Riga and activists who want to help promote both the cleaning of the neighborhood and the integration of beneficiaries of international protection into the local community through the implementation of various events can participate in the creation of a community garden.
