A meeting of the EuroMi team was organized in Chudobczyce. “The 12 Disciples Programme” participants were also present at the meeting. These are people who had been in a difficult situation and are now managing foundations and setting up self-help groups. They have become leaders who are able to efficiently support work migrants in need, living on the streets of London and Dublin. The programme participants were provided with training on the situation of Polish work migrants abroad and they were presented an agreement signed by the Barka Foundation and the Hammersmith and Fulham London boroughs.

A training for all the leaders going to work as street workers in the London Centre for Migrants Integration took place on the 19th of April 2007 at 3pm. The leaders who have gone through  the training have had experience in working with the socially excluded and are leaders of community houses or have their own associations. They will work with all the Polish work migrants who are destitute , homeless or addicted. The leaders will take part in a programme called " The 12 Disciples"-the programme is based on the work and experience of people working and living In the Barka Foundation community houses. Those who have experienced alcoholism and homelessness themselves are more efficient in convincing others who are now victims of addiction and live in the streets that they should begin therapy. Polish leaders from the community houses will try to convince homeless and addicted work migrants that going through an adequate therapy, living in the community houses and going through a process of training the communities and other organizations offer, will help them solve their problems
