What are OpenFora?
OpenFora are opportunities for interested citizens to exchange views and experience on topics that go beyond mere European-integrationist matters. They are designed as weekend debates, in order to be open for people of all generations.
We aim at creating a lively political debate by like-informed, not essentially like-minded people willing to engage themselves for the present and future fate and well-being of their fellow citizens.
What is this OpenForum about?
The aim of this OpenForum is to discuss and to identify the potential benefits of migration. How does migration affect the personal life of people? How does it influence their communities both at their place of origin (home community) and their place of being (host community) regarding social, economic and political developments and culture?
This OpenForum is part of the Art Interventions project „The return of the Gastarbajters“ (http://projects.citizens-of-europe.eu/artinterventions/?page_id=7) implemented in the Eastern Serbian town of Požarevac.
All people present – both participants to the complete Art Interventions project or attending only the two-day OpenForum workshop – will be asked to answer the following five questions in advance which will be later discussed at the OpenForum:
