Who will join me for this debate at FMZ? Like it or not IMCZ and ZIWC are classified as 'Migration Associations'. and in fact we play an important role in the integration of immigrants, returnees, newcomers and internationally oriented locals into the City of Zug.
The FMZ holds IMCZ in high esteem. Let's reciprocate.
Let's show our commitment to this role by attending their workshop on September 11th. Please register if you are willing to join our delegation. Thank you for your consideration of this contribution. Details of the event are overleaf.
Please register here!
Richard Beswick, President, IMCZ International Men's Club of Zug
FMZ Migration Office of Canton Zug is the coordination centre, assisting new arrivals and established residents with integration. They work closely with the different Migration Associations. IMCZ and ZIWC are classified as Migration Associations along with 30 or so other national or interest groups.
As you know we are participating with a beer stand at the FMZ organized Fest der Nationen.
FMZ is an important recruitment centre for our club and we value our relationship with them and with the other esteemed clubs in the region.
We have an invitation to attend a workshop and apero on September 11th at 18.15 at the Siehbachsaal. I will represent us at the meeting as a minimum, but would be delighted if other members new or old would like to join me. ZIWC will probably participate too. I assume that the meeting language will be German.
Anyone interested please register.
Here is the INVITATION to the 12th exchange meeting between the leaders of the Zug Migration Associations and The Migration Office Zug.
