Connecting the Intercultural worker to the social services system
Erdenebat, Otgon-Erdene ; Nová, Monika (advisor) ; Čedík, Miloslav (referee)
v anglickém jazyce My thesis deals with the problematics of intercultural work with migrants, i. e. with foreigners who live here legally, and with its role in the system of social services in the Czech Republic. Because the position of an intercultural worker is comparatively new in our milieu, I concentrated first on the description of the work and the definition of the kinds of problems that the worker may face, and only then on the specification of the goals of intercultural work as such. Drawing on my personal experience with the work, I then tried to describe competences and role of an intercultural worker with respect to his or her involvement in the system of social services. I also conducted an opinion poll among the intercultural workers and their institution. This topic is now quite current and I hope that my work will help improve the situation in this field.

KOSÁČKOVÁ, Jitka
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to assess the current state of the readiness of non-governmental organisations in South Bohemia concerning the preparation for handling larger groups of refugees. Moreover, the thesis determines the expected number of volunteers and inhabitants of South Bohemia willing to participate in activities aiming to help the refugees. The first part deals with the basic groups of non-governmental organisations distinguished by our legal code. The description of these groups focuses primarily on the general characteristics. An important chapter addresses the definition of the term Association of Non-Governmental Organisations in South Bohemia. Subsequently, the respective organisations united there are described in more detail. The last part of the theoretical background of the thesis is concerned with migration policy, the security aspects connected with migration, and the organisations working with refugees on the international level. To fulfil the aim No.1 "To review the readiness of non-governmental organisations in South Bohemia concerning the preparation for handling larger groups of refugees" and to answer the research question "What is the current state of readiness of non-governmental organisations in South Bohemia concerning the preparation for handling larger groups of refugees?", the method of qualitative research was employed. The research used the method of structured interviews with the responsible representatives of the NGOs united in the Association of NGOs in South Bohemia. To fulfil the aim No.2 "To determine the expected number of volunteers and inhabitants of South Bohemia willing to participate in activities aiming to help the refugees": The results demonstrated unequivocally that the organisation best prepared as far as the material and personnel viewpoint is concerned was the Czech Red Cross. Other organisations can provide material security or qualified psychological aid depending on their speciality. The results proved that the current state of the readiness of NGOs concerning the powers, tools and activities meets the requirements for providing help to a larger group of refugees on condition that the NGOs in The Association of Non-Governmental Organisations in South Bohemia cooperate. The questionnaire survey showed that fifty percent out of 284 respondents are willing to participate in activities aiming to help the refugees, which confirms the original hypothesis.

Burešová, Zdeňka ; Novotný, Vilém (advisor) ; Jelínková, Marie (referee)
Migration is a phenomenon which has strong impact on the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic is currently under transformation from transit country to immigration country. At the present time the situation is even more complicated because of the migrant crises which impact all of us. I suppose that the Members of Parliament will create social constructions or narratives about migrants during the sitting of parliament. I aim to identify social constructions of migrants that are created by the Czech political parties represented in the Chamber of Deputies since the 2013 election. I will divide social construction into two main groups. Ones belong to migrants and the other ones to refugees. I would like to find out if there are more positive or negative social constructions and how are benefits and punishments distributed to these groups. I would like to discover key narratives of particular political negotiation as well. Theoretical background of this thesis is the social construction of target population theory of Anne Schneider and Helen Ingram. In the manner of Lina Newton's article "It is not a question of being anti-immigrant: Categories of deservedness in immigration policy making", I will use a combination of discursive and narrative analysis as the main method. I will analyse statements and...

A comparative analysis of the Czech and German positions on solving the European migrant crisis in 2015
Szantová, Ivona ; Maslowski, Nicolas (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
The question of increasing immigration and refugee pressure in Europe has become a sensitive political and economic issues, and also subject to ideological conflicts, not only in countries that face this phenomenon most intensively, but also in those member states that are not considered to be typical immigrant states such as the Czech Republic. While during the previous crisis in the eurozone and the Greek debt crisis the division of the EU to the north and south could be observed, migrant crisis in 2015 divided the EU in another way. It is rather excessive compassion of the West on one side and xenophobic attitude of Eastern European countries on the other. Diploma thesis will examine the similarities and differences of opinions on solving the migrant crisis between the two EU member states, which represent these two ideological poles, Germany and the Czech Republic, with the regard to their international legal obligations, obligations of membership in the EU and protection of their own national interests. It will also examine what influences the formation of these opinions and what role can the phenomenon of migration crisis play in the building or a change of state identity.

Opinions of Novohradsko region citizens on the voluntary immigration of foreigners to the Czech republic and their social integration.
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Lenka
This bachelor´s thesis deals with the study of the views of the Czech population, more precisely the citizens in Novohradsko region to immigration to the Czech Republic. We came to an interesting conclusion that the citizens in Novohradsko region that we worked in our work with, have not gone along with this issue yet. It also indicates that some individuals have xenophobic attitudes and try to avoid answering the questions related to immigration. People have different attitudes to individual groups of immigrants, and these attitudes are distinguished according to how the foreigners are able to adapt and blend in with the surroundings. They are neutral in relation to their ethnic relatives- Slovaks and Poles. They are, however, negative towards individuals of other ethnic and culture. The immigration of foreigners to the Czech Republic is still increasing. How can the Czech population see the arrival of immigrants? The results of our research confirmed that foreigners are perceived more positively. Their arrival is not completely avoided the people welcome more those foreigners who are able to apply to the labour market, to learn English and adopt a Bohemian way of life. The research part of the thesis will be implemented as the investigation and interviews with respondents. I will prepare the obtained data to be able to verify given hypothesis. The respondents are the citizens of the Czech Republic in Novohradsko region.
