-
fight exclusion and ethnic or religious prejudgment through trainings, public events and publications and by ensuring an intercultural dialogue,

Our approach is based on valuing the notions of diversity and multiple identities in order to help learners - especially of Central and Eastern European and Middle-Eastern origin, living in a hosting culture - to valorise to their culture of origin and facilitate their active participation in the local society.
We design online and offline interdisciplinary learning tools, tutorials, organise trainings and creative workshops using a wide range of accessible art and craft techniques in order to turn the learning processes into compex and positive experiences for all.
