There is an ever increasing inflow of foreign populations in Europe, and nations, cities and local communities are diversifying day by day. People of migrant backgrounds as well as other cultural minorities such as indigenous peoples are living side by side with members of the dominant population, all of which are often unaware of the cultural customs of the others. Consequently, many people are living in a community in which they, for not feeling it inherently their own or other reasons, cannot identify with the surrounding cultural environment. This increasing sense of detachment is not fertile ground for social cohesion.There are certain essential building blocks in the creation of cohesive communities. Ensuring every member of the population has an equal opportunity to participate and have an influence in their living environment, as well as providing accessible and relatable cultural products within local communities, are some of the cornerstones. Cultural organisations as designers of these products, and as providers of informal learning opportunities, have a significant role in promoting this kind of development.Lessons from Less Heard is a strategic partnership consisting of four partners: Green Cultural and Educational Centre Visio (Finland), Norrbotten Museum (Sweden), Art27 (Belgium) and Consorzio Comunità Brianza (Italy). The project commits to 1) improve the competence of cultural organisations to promote social inclusion of ethnic minorities and social cohesion within communities, and 2) create relatable cultural products as well as concrete experiences of inclusion for ethnic minorities. This project strongly relies on participatory methods: rather than minorities learning about the dominant culture, they will share knowledge and skills, or produce events on their own culture and heritage. This is a straightforward way to engender relatable products and phenomena to the cultural field for those excluded from the dominant culture, and therefore create fertile ground for developing a sense of belonging and social inclusion. Furthermore, the practice of bringing the cultural minorities to the front of design of cultural and educational products and services, facilitates intercultural dialogue and, consequently, supports the incurrence of the positive curiosity and interest towards one another.The focus is on improving or regenerating, conceptualizing and sharing the existing participatory approaches to informal learning on culture, developed and applied by the partner organisations. All approaches address or have the potential to address ethnic and cultural diversity through culture and cultural products (art, heritage and cultural environment). Within the project, the methods will be conceptualised and repacked into a form of a video series – recipes for inclusive culture. With the encouragement of these videos, any community or organisation in Europe would be able to carry out the activities within their own communities.
