KAMA, a non-for-profit organisation in Linz, Austria, offers a platform for asylum seekers and migrants to offer workshops for cooking, jewellery making and dancing. The initiative seeks to change host communities' attitude to asylum seekers through exchange activities. The idea is to foster an of atmosphere of togetherness so that locals and immigrants open up to each other and share ideas. Guests are paying a small fee to participate, which goes directly to the migrants offering the activity.
