The Ústí nad Labem Region has the second largest Vietnamese population in the Czech Republic after Prague. However, while in the capital city there are a number of organizations working with foreigners, the Ústí nad Labem Region offers very few services to migrants. Klub Hanoi has implemented a project focused specifically on Vietnamese clients in the region, namely in Chomutov: We have trained more Czech-Vietnamese intercultural assistants, opened a legal counselling office and provided fieldwork counselling and assistance with authorities. The project also included a research focusing on the socio-economic situation and problems of the Vietnamese community; it was the first research of this kind carried out in the region.
The project was implemented with the support of the Open Society Fund Prague.
