| IOM supports eight radio progammes dedicated to migration |
|
 |
|
From 22 June until 15 July IOM is supporting the broadcasting of eight radio programmes, aired live by Radio 1. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening pertinent migration issues are being discussed by government representatives and civil society representatives. People have the chance to call in to the studio and ask questions to the guests, whereas conversations with Georgians living abroad are used to highlight particular experien- |
|
ences of what it means to migrate from Georgia and make a living abroad. Special attention is paid to the contribution the Georgian diaspora communities can make to the development of Georgia, which is an issue that has become increasingly important for the Georgian government.
This initiative is supported as part of the project "Stemming Illegal Migration from Georgia and Enhancing the Positive Effects of Legal Migration", which has been generously financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy.
