About the project
As part of this project, the partners examined the situation of migrants and refugees in their local communities and aimed to identify existing prejudices, biases, stereotypes, ethnocentrism, discriminatory behaviors and mindsets, as well as hostile attitudes and stigmatization toward other migrant and refugee groups.
We also learnt about their values, ideas, and visions for building a peaceful society based on tolerance, integration, understanding, and solidarity among diverse groups.
Based on our findings, we developed strategies to counter racism among migrants and refugees, such as:
- Identifying common ground and values among the various groups and define a joint vison of a peaceful community
- Bridging intercultural divide by building networks of various migrant and refugee groups
- Promoting the civic engagement and participation of migrants and refugees by organizing joint activities and events (e.g. on the “International Day of Living Together in Peace” at 16 May)
- Improving the competences of educators and volunteers working in the field of integration of migrants and refugees by providing recommendations on how counteract racist and discriminative behavior and action among migrants and refugees.
The research findings, the solutions developed, and our recommendations were documented in the following online e-book and workshop curriculum intended for distribution throughout Europe.
Please feel free to share and use these results with others so that we can all contribute to a more peaceful and tolerant coexistence in our diversity!
