We had an interesting day at the conference “Migration and Citizenship in a Changing Community” on 3 March 2010. The event was organised by Europe Direct Leeds and Leeds City Council’s Adult Social Care unit.
Speakers included Christian Krappitz, European Commission Representative, Professor Lena Dominelli from the University of Durham and Almamy Taal from MARCO (Migrants Asylum seekers and Refugees Community Organisation). Further people told about their personal experiences of coming to Leeds.
There was music, food, a quiz and lots of networking. The main points were made around the folowing keywords: Control, Power and Choice.
If you attended please feel free to add photos to our Facebook page. And if you are still shaky on your citizenship test scores why not come to one of Leeds’ libraries to practice for free!
