Intercultural work is intended for overcoming language and socio-cultural barriers during communication between foreigners and officials at different authorities and other institutions. On the one hand, it facilitates the officials’ work, on the other hand, it helps foreigners handle various life situations.
The Integration Centre’s team of intercultural workers also offers these services for Vietnamese, Ukrainian and Arabic-speaking clients. You can find contact information of all the intercultural workers here.
There are other organizations offering services of intercultural workers in Prague as well. You can find the complete list of those at the informational website for foreigners –Prague for all. Prague’s long-term goal is to make people from foreign countries feel welcome in the Capital City so that the motto of the abovementioned website could hold true, i.e. that Prague is, in fact, a capital for all.

- Interpreting during communication between foreigners and workers of different institutions;
- Assisting foreigners with filling out forms;
