This book shares the stories and reflections of 40 foreign-born activists in different European
states. The immigrants vividly report on their paths into active participation in the societies
in which they live. They reflect on their own role as links and mediators between different
groups as role models and door openers for newcomers and young second-generation immigrants
and as admonishers and advocates. The stories encompass unique experiences of special persons
but they also illustrate general challenges for the integration of immigrants in Europe. All
those who are interested in migration and integration issues should find the book interesting
and inspiring reading. In addition adult educators may find real-life examples for their
workshops and courses. Careful introductions and complementary information-boxes support this
purpose.
