Taste of Home

 

The website Taste of Home is collaboratively run by the collective Taste of Home and the Centre for Peace Studies. This website was developed under the project 'Quality Integration Solutions for Refugees' financially supported by the European Commission. 

The website was upgraded through the funds of the CONCORD project EYD2015 Civil Society Alliance (contract with the European Commission) through a cooperation between the Slovenian NGDO platform for development cooperation and humanitarian aid SLOGA and the Centre for Peace Studies and Crosol from Croatia. 

The website was upgraded again in 2017 through the funds of the US Embassy in Croatia granted for the implementation of the project 'From Migrant to Entrepreneur'. The project enabled organization of the international conference as well as the publishing of the book and the video [MIGRENT]. The project was implemented in collaboration with the Taste of Home and the Centre for Peace Studies.
