Migroteka

Migroteka (first edition and Migroteka 2) is PFM's initiative to increase Poles' awareness regarding migrants and refugees. The idea is to equip selected libraries in Poland with professional literature about these groups. The Migroteka collection is available in libraries in Biała Podlaska, Białystok, Katowice, Kraków, Lublin, Poznań, Raszyn, Rzeszów, Szczecin, Toruń and Warsaw. 

The Migroteka collection is available to the libraries free of charge. The collection expands as Polish Migration Forum receives new book donations and financial support towards purchase of books towards this project. Today, each library hosts a collection of about 50 migration-related titles - the search mechanism above allows to check, which titles are available in which locations. The libraries' addresses are visible by clicking on the city names in the list. 

Migroteka project is already supported by the Oxford University Press, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), US Committee for Refugees, Routledge, Austrian Integration Fund, Intercultural Center of Professional Adaptation (MCAZ), Association of Legal Intervention (SIP), International Organization for Migration (IOM), Center of Professional Advancement of Teachers (CODN), Polish Humanitarian Organization, Catholic University in Lublin (KUL), Gdańsk Psychological Publishing House, the European Fund for Integration of Third Country Nationals and the state budget. It is also sponsored by a private donor.

The entire project is run thanks to many supporters and donors. It gained momentum in 2009, when Polish Migration Forum received a grant for Migroteka from European Fund for Integration of Third Country Nationals. In 2014, we received another grant from EFI for Migroteka 2. We were able to purchase an additional 30 books on migration and multiculturalism in Polish and English. We also run multicultural workshops in the libraries that are interested in this kind of collaboration.
