The questions migrants would like to pose to employers

During the implementation of the European Union project Migrascope, which Inclusive Works runs in the Netherlands, we have met a number of migrants. They have different and very interesting questions of how it would be to work in the Netherlands. Some examples:

Are employers afraid that we might return to our home countries after a while (and therefore not invest in us)? Do they think we are (all) strict in our religion and that it might lead to conflict? Would I need to come to the office if the public transport is not running? The migrant's questions show that having the possibility to speak openly to an employer is of great importance.

On March 8, employers and migrants met to discuss these questions with each other. It was a very successful and expiring meeting. Below are a few impressions of the meeting.

      

 

 

 

Why Hate Speech is difficult to tackle

Inclusive Works has recently created a guide about Hate Speech containing information and very useful advice about the subject. The goal of this guide was to empower people and help them understand what Hate Speech is and how they can defend themselves in case they encounter something like Hate Speech.

Photo exhibition in Hirado, Japan

On 11 August 2017 our photo exhibition Japan & the Netherlands was officially opened at the Hirado Dutch Trading Post, Japan. The Dutch Trading Post (平戸オランダ商館, Hirado Oranda Shōkan) was set up in Hirado in 1609 as the base of operations of the Dutch East India Company in Japan.The opening was a wonderful way of experiencing the interest of Japanese people (or foreigners living in Japan) in how Japan has, and keeps, influencing the Netherlands. And, at the same time, the living influences that the Netherlands has exerted on Japan.

 

We are very thankful to everyone in the Netherlands and Japan who helps us in this endeavor.

 

 

Inclusive Works: one of the 7 European partners 

Smile; a small but significant act of inclusion!

2017 has started with some very negative news. Hate, intolerance and exclusion is seen in politics (in the USA), acts of terrorism (against Muslims in Canada) and surge of anti-migrant incidents (as the fire on an refugee centre in Twello, the Netherlands).

What can YOU do? Smile to someone who might be feeling unwelcome. This is a small, but significant act of Inclusion!
