ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Migration is one of the oldest human trends, but the global population has never been more mobile. When a person migrate, they take their culture with them and tries to integrate into new local environment. The presence of new cultural factors can have positive social, economic and political implications on sending and receiving nations. But it can just as easily lead to tension which manifests itself as racism and xenophobia.
The project is aimed to foster and respect cultural differences, not only among Europeans themselves, but also among the people which have migrated to other country for different reasons – economic, social, violation and armed conflicts, etc. The project covers migrations of all kind, not just recent migration waves, but also those in the past, which have created a specific 'minorities' among native inhabitants.
The emphasis of the project meetings will be on combining more theoretical part (learning new tools, good practices, based on cultural integration, etc., which can be implemented into each partner's local environment and measured by each partner) and organising event, meeting, festival, etc. where project participants can hang out with locals, jointly them enjoy cultural varietis of the environment.
Activities and specific goals for each country/partner will be discussed and shaped individually jointly with the Lead Partner (RDA Zasavje). Activities also depends on your wishes, opportunities, etc.
