Project BODE+

BODE+ objectives

1.) empowering NGO representatives and advocacy promoters with a migrant background to carry out strategic advocacy more professionally and confidently;
2.) to provide comprehensive support and information on EU rights and values for people with a migrant background;
3.) raising public awareness and mobilising citizens to support solutions on migration issues;
4.) influencing legislation through two policy initiatives on integration, language learning for foreigners and the provision of meals for children with different backgrounds.

Impact4values is implemented under the EU’s Citizens, Equality, Rights, Values (CERV) programme, which supports NGOs to strengthen the rights and values common to all EU Member States. In Slovenia, the programme is managed by CNVOS.

MKD with project partners at a press conference at the Ministry of Education, where we submitted the signatures of the petition and the initiative for inclusive school meals in May 2025.

Support our 2 main initiatives:

  • Public initiative and petition for the improvement of Slovene language learning programmes for foreigners
  • Public initiative and petition to ensure adequate meals for all children

These public initiatives were prepared by migrants within the BODE+ project in cooperation with ADRA Slovenia, the Intercultural Dialogue Association and the Gmajna Cultural Association, and with the support of the GEtCoheSive project.

The representative of MKD Association Furkan Guner spoke in the Nova24 studio about the initiative for better conditions for learning the Slovene language for foreigners (July 2024).
