The project aimed to raise capacity of social partners regarding migrant and refugee workers’ rights and ensuring decent work conditions for this group of workers. The project addressed the challenges faced by migrant workers, particularly from Eastern Europe and Asia, who often lack awareness of their rights and are subject to exploitation.

The planned key activities included a kick-off meeting in Warsaw, three consultative round tables at the voivodship level, four workshop trainings to develop the MIGRIGHT Social Dialogue Toolkit, a study visit to Norway, and a final conference to disseminate the results. These activities aimed to improve social dialogue and cooperation between social partners, enhance the professionalization of social dialogue, and disseminate knowledge on fostering migrant and refugee workers' rights.

The project contributed to the overall objectives of the Norway Grants and the Social Dialogue – Decent Work Programme by improving social dialogue and cooperation, enhancing the implementation of the decent work agenda, and facilitating access to employment for migrant and refugee workers. The project promoted responsible hiring practices and addressed issues related to the inclusion and equal treatment of migrant and refugee workers in the Polish labour market.

Summary of bilateral results

The Norwegian partner (NHO) provided knowledge and experience in the different activities. The study visit took place in a hybrid form due to the situation related to the pandemic. The project promoter highlighted that the Norwegian partner contributed with interesting exchange of information and good practices.
