The organisation is known for launching the Khamoro World Roma Festival and for its long-standing work promoting intercultural dialogue and integration. One of its best-known integration projects is Next Door Family, which brings together Czech and migrant families in an informal setting to encourage mutual understanding and friendship. Slovo 21 also publishes Slovo, a magazine for and about foreigners living in the Czech Republic. In addition, the organisation runs Welcome to the Czech Republic (V\u00edtejte v \u010cR) adaptation and integration courses, which provide newly arrived migrants with essential information and practical guidance for settling in the Czech Republic. For more information about these courses, have a look <a href=\"\/\/www.vitejtevcr.cz\/en\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Slovo 21 works to promote a multicultural society and to strengthen mutual understanding and the peaceful coexistence of people from different cultural backgrounds in the Czech Republic and across Europe. Although it does not provide social or legal counselling, it actively combats racism and xenophobia, promotes respect for human rights, and works to improve the public image of minorities and migrants.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2018, Slovo 21 has also organised integration seminars for beneficiaries of international protection.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0More information is available <a href=\"\/\/www.novy-domov.cz\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Contact<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Address: <\/strong>T\u00e1borsk\u00e1 979\/5, 140 00 Praha 4<\/p>\n<p><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"mailto:info@slovo21.cz\">info@slovo21.cz<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Websites:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"\/\/www.slovo21.cz\">www.slovo21.cz<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/www.vitejtevcr.cz\">www.vitejtevcr.cz<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/www.novy-domov.cz\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.novy-domov.cz<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"\/\/www.khamoro.cz\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.khamoro.cz<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Telephone:<\/strong> +<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">420 604 242 363<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Facebook: <\/strong><a href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/slovo21\">www.facebook.com\/slovo21<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/vitejtevcr\">www.facebook.com\/vitejtevcr<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/festivalkhamoro\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">www.facebook.com\/festivalkhamoro<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Svitlo Community Centre and Infopoint\"><strong>Svitlo Community Centre and Infopoint<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The Svitlo Community Centre operates an Infopoint that supports newly arrived refugees from Ukraine who are not yet familiar with life in the Czech Republic.
