Background and purpose of the seminar:

 

This year Preston celebrates 20 years of twinning with Kalisz in Poland.  There are a number of celebrations taking place over the period 23^rd to the 26^th July. As a part of the celebrations, this seminar on immigration and the integration of immigrants in the community has been designed as an opportunity to discuss an issue of common interest with our colleagues in Kalisz.  In addition, it has a resonance with our other twin cities of Almelo in Holland, Recklinghausen in Germany and Nimes in France.

 

This seminar also provides an opportunity to showcase some of the work being done in Preston and as an exchange of ideas and learning with our twinning colleagues.
