Eigenwijs participeren

Report by Frans Bromet on self-organizations of immigrants in the Netherlands and the role these organizations play in the integration of immigrants into Dutch society. Bromet visits, among other places, a radio studio in Nijmegen where a program for Somalis is being recorded, the 'bowling for Turkish families' package by STGT, and an information evening about politics in the Netherlands for immigrant women. Some activities explicitly aim for integration, while for others, integration is at best a side effect.
