\u00a0On 12 May 2016, at the Riga Teacher Training and Educational Management Academy (RPIVA) the International Conference \u201cSolutions to Social Problems\u201d took place. It was organized by the Society \u201cDialogu Nams\u201d, RPIVA, and the IHSSI (International Humanity and Social Sciences Institute).<\/p>\n
\nAt the conference were discussed such topics as integration of immigrants, as well as problems and challenges related to it, the importance of communication and perception in mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence. A lot of attention was spent on the topic of the inclusion of children and youth, intercultural learning possibilities, multicultural education and teaching aids for immigrant and re-emigrant children. Such issues as extremism and radicalization were discussed too: one of the lecturers has presented a summary on the Brussels International Symposium \u201cCountering Violent Extremism\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nParticipants of the conference were introduced to the research results done by specialists from different fields. Lecturers came from different countries: Germany, Finland, Lithuania, Estonia, as well as Latvia. Among the speakers there were PROVIDUS Development Director Ms. Marija Golubeva, Vice President of the UNESCO IBE Council Dr. Liesma Ose, Lithuanian filmmmaker and CEO of the project \u201cEthnic Kitchen\u201d Ms. Aiste Ptakauske, Phd student and researcher from the University of Latvia Ms. Laura Bu\u017einska, \u201cAtlantis Dialogue Platform\u201d member Mr. Gaygysyz Ashyrov, Tallin University of Technology researcher and president of International Business, Culture and Education Association Mr. Fatih Gullu, as well as Dr. Muhammed M.

\nDuring the conference, participants exchanged their opinions and lecturers shared their interesting personal experience. Listeners and speakers asked each other questions and involved everyone in the discussion.<\/p>\n
\nBy organizing this conference, the Society \u201cDialogu Nams\u201d has tried to give to people answers to their questions on immigrants and integration related topics, because, in our opinion, these issues get more and more attention in Latvia and needs adequate solutions. We hope that this conference gave an interesting insight to these issues and that it will encourage people to be more open and understanding towards each other.
