The project is based on the need of several migrant organisations located in Hanover to combine skills and resources and to gain experience by cooperating with each other in projects.

The idea to establish a local network arose at the first national meeting at the International House Sonnenberg in February 2007, where a great number of participants came from Hanover. They found out that the exchange with other organisations gives inspiring impulses and that a local network offers new possibilities for manifold projects.
Since then several organisations meet frequently to discuss and work on topics such as protection of environment and climate, youth work, public relations or comparison of migration in East and West Germany.

At the meeting on 28 of November Mr. Özer (MOZAIK gGmbH) gave an input about how to maintain networks.
A strong link has been established to Silvia Hesse, the commissioner for integration of Hanover. As one of the joined projects, a cultural event at the city hall should be organised to decrease constraints and to offer an opportunity to meet officials in an informal atmosphere.
