The project "Out of Visegrad" reflects upon the labour migration from the V4 countries to Western Europe. Created by eight migrants from the V4 countries who have recently gone to Western Europe to work, the "Out of Visegrad" blogs will continue to contribute to the European debate on labour mobility. Unlike the image of a "typical" labour migrant, our bloggers have graduated from universities, tend to speak English fluently, have computer skills and access to the internet.

With the enlargement of the European Union and the gradual lifting of barriers to labour mobility, migrationonline.cz is increasingly concerned with the following set of questions: Who is leaving the region to seek work abroad? How are migrants from Central and Eastern Europe perceived in Western Europe? How does labour mobility affect the sending countries' economy? How does the fluctuation of these migrants affect traditional cultural and social patterns in the CEE countries?

With these questions in mind a series of articles relating to labour migration from Visegrad counties, along with a selection of the most relevant and interesting blogs, were published in the specially created magazine Visegrad Moves, which is available for free in various places across the region (click here for more information).

The project received the kind support of the International Visegrad Fund, www.visegradfund.org and of the European Union (DG Employment and Social Affairs).
