Members of the council were generally pleased with the Multicultural Congress which was held last Saturday the 10th November and how well it was attended by immigrants. It is important to utilize the knowledge obtained by the Congress, but its main topic was access of immigrants to information.
At the moment results are being translated and compiled which the Multicultural council will base its future projects on.
