what we do in

Strengthening Collaboration and Expanding Reach

The Networking and Links Programme fosters collaboration between Somali Culture and Integration e.V. and like-minded organizations across Europe and beyond. By creating strategic alliances, the programme enhances the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and resources, enabling the association to deliver more impactful programmes. Partnerships with networks such as GEDAN, PEDAN, and Erasmus+ provide platforms for joint initiatives that advance education, integration, and cultural dialogue.

This programme also strengthens SKI’s visibility and influence by facilitating participation in international forums, conferences, and working groups. Through these engagements, the association is able to represent community priorities, share best practices, and contribute to shaping policies that support inclusion and development. Networking and links therefore serve as a bridge for cooperation, ensuring that Somali communities benefit from shared learning and collective action.
