About the project:
The project “Don't fear to differ! Empowering cultural dialogue between migrant and local communities” intends to stimulate a dialogue between different cultures. Through this dialogue, the project aims to introduce different cultures to each other and to identify similarities and differences between the groups in order to lift the fear of the unknown "other". The juxtaposition of participants viewing cultural diversity as an enrichment to those who see it as a threat will aim to create a comprehensive depiction of the sentiments in regard to migration. The interaction between diverse groups is the stepping stone to tackle prejudices and stereotyping, discrimination and marginalization. The main objective of the project is to manage cultural diversity in a democratic and non-violent way and to bridge the divide between those who perceive diversity as a threat and those who view it as an enrichment. Thus, enabling a peaceful and mutually inclusive society with a sense of community and belonging to Europe.
