Going further

Date: Monday, November 30th 2015
Location: Willy Brandt School
Objective: giving feedback and looking ahead

A week ago we were in Zeulenroda-Triebes. Today we are back in Erfurt accompanied by a bunch of ideas regarding the project, the city, migration in Germany and our main goal.  

Sub-groups, Skype calls, challenges, tasks and debates are the words that better describe this meeting. This time the group came together to propose a more concrete line of action, as well as tasks, methodologies and possible final products to be submitted to the relevant authorities. 
While going through different discussions, the group recognized that it still has a lot of work ahead, but the redefinition of the goal and the establishment of the desired deliverables, made us realized we are going through the correct path. 

Working together

During this meeting every sub-group presented a short report about its activities and the information are still needed to achieve each assignment:

• Fernando, responsible of the theoretical sub-group, explained the way he is writing the final document and the presentation's strategy he would be able and willing to do.

• Suhaili, on the other hand, expressed the necessity of creating a questionnaire to define and select correct target groups, those that the project will address. She is working together with Heather, who is also one of the group's representatives.

• The team of local infrastructure, in which Frederike, Didre, Kyle and Irem are working, drove the discussion to the information the group still needs from the different stakeholders in order to provide a policy proposal to attract labor migrants into Zeulenroda-Triebes. 

• Finally, Lorena stressed the necessity of all of the outcomes the group will deliver in order to create an accurate marketing strategy and a communication plan. This strategy will be created by her, Madiha and Bhavya. 

No matter where we are, Internet would be always part of our team

At the end of the session, Frederike explained how the Ausbildung system works in Germany, its structures, students' profile and advantages for the community. Next time, Fernando will present some important points about the history of migration. We are looking forward to knowing more about it!
