Facilitating migrant workers' social acceptance through outreach activities, community engagement, advocacy and public education.
What is the MWC Social Acceptance and Integration Programmes?
The Migrant Workers’ Centre (MWC) believes that the key to integration is to provide a platform for both Singapore citizens and migrant workers to create mutual understanding. To foster a global mindset in our citizens, it is important to start young. Thus, MWC welcomes partnerships with schools and students to co-create outreach/projects for the migrant workers' community. This would allow students and migrant workers to foster friendship bonds and to understand each other better. Furthermore, the students’ youthful energy and enthusiasm will put a smile on our migrant brothers’ faces.
Through this partnership, students will understand the works of MWC and MWC’s contribution to championing fair employment practices. Also, interacting with the migrant brothers’ students will debunk the common misconception about migrant workers. Lastly, a social support network can be formed through this outreach. These activities allow students to contribute meaningfully to the community nurturing them into socially responsible citizens.
