During the lockdown time due to Coronavirus, the participants in RIAC activities in Umbria did not have to face different difficulties than other workers. The association was however reachable as an information and orientation desk.

As best practice for female self-entrepreneurship RIAC supported eight Nigerian and Gambian women creating the cooperative Fili d’Africa, specializing in tailoring materials for the home, engaged at the same time in personal and social empowerment initiatives; *

“Today the “Threads of Africa” Association offers its products (in a meeting between the Umbrian textile tradition and the colors of Africa) and aims to grow its activities also by networking with other associations and local businesses. For this reason, it offers those wishing to learn more about the APS: statute, governing bodies, activities, the African Threads Page inside the site.

IGAM

we continue our activities with RIAC participants via Whatsapp groups since most of them don’t have laptops or internet connections. Language trainers, job trainers, mentors and speed managers communicate with them through Whatsapp, phone calls, SMS and occasionally via Skype. Due to lack of their access to the internet we couldn’t use any online training tools so far.

At the moment we are trying to activate an educational tool that you can find in https://ecollmobile.com/ . 

As online information tools we have Riac and İGAM web sites and social media accounts and İGAM TV , a YouTube channel for the better information about issues concerning corona and migration policies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUTlaOD8CDA
