Abstract

Migrant associations are generally presented as platforms for meetings, information exchange and social networking. But they are also cultural identity holders and centres for altruistic help and solidarity. This article offers a broad insight into the intra-community dynamics of the two most numerous non-EU communities residing in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It analyses basic functions and levels of efficiency of Cape-Verdean and ex-Yugoslav associations during the integration process of immigrants in the Luxembourgish labour market as well as into the society. The research results are based on 81 semi-structured interviews carried out in the period between 31 December 2011 and 30 June 2013 with representatives of associations, non-governmental organizations, academicians and migrants themselves.
