"<< Background >>Considering the increase of identity-based discourses and dynamics in Europe, it is necessary to promote an inclusive Europe in which the cultural Rights of migrants are respected and the European cultural heritage is enhanced. Culture and arts are in fact powerful channels for sharing and transmitting values (cf. the European Commission's communication ""New pact on migration and asylum""/Brussels, 23 Sept 2020). The MigrArts project participates directly in building a sense of ‘living together’. On one hand, the MigrArts project is intended to support the recognition and effective consideration of migrants’ cultural Rights. On the other hand, the project aims to promote self-fulfillment through the development of creative skills and a sense of belonging.The project aims at supporting structures working in the cultural field or in charge of the integration of migrants to work together in an innovative, inter-sectoral and intercultural approach. In fact, the cultural dimension is not or has not been correctly taken into account in migrants’ integration policies. Moreover, migrants constitute most of the time a new target group for structures working in the fields of culture and culture mediation.The project therefore aims to give concrete tools to these associative and institutional actors to enrich their knowledge, skills and competences so that they can build inclusive and emancipating cultural and artistic activities, with and for migrants. The MigrArts project also values the commitment and participation of migrants through a co-construction approach. The latter are encouraged to take an active part in the elaboration of the project. MigrArts thus promotes proactive citizenship around common values.The MigrArts project is even more necessary as the social and economic crisis linked to Covid-19 has reinforced unequal access to culture of the most disadvantaged social categories and therefore of a large part of migrants.<< Objectives >>The MigrArts project aims at promoting a better integration of migrants through arts and culture, at local, national and European levels. It therefore plans to build an inclusive and emancipating approach for migrants through cultural and artistic activities and more specifically to :>Include cultural Rights in projects targeting migrants;>Co-build cultural and artistic activities with migrants and encourage their social inclusion as well as the emergence of a European consciousness/awareness;>Develop and enhance migrants’ psychosocial skills to improve their social, professional and civic integration;>Encourage political decision-makers to integrate art and culture in an action plan for migrants.<< Implementation >>The partners of the MigrArts project will share their research, resources and experiences and create different tools to build an inclusive and emancipating approach for migrants through cultural and artistic activities.They will participate in transnational learning activities to deepen the project’s key themes (cultural Rights, valuing learning outcomes in a non-formal setting). They will associate volunteer participants from associations and institutions in the sectors of cultural sector and mediation and integration for migrants as well as migrants themselves (of all statuses) in order to experiment and analyze a common methodological framework for innovative practices. They will also produce tools resulting from this experimental approach, intended to wide dissemination, as well as to encourage and facilitate other similar initiatives.Those tools are:-Practical guide for an inclusive and emancipatory approach to migrants through cultural and artistic activities-Pedagogical frameworks to enhance training of adults in thematic areas of the MigrArts project.<< Results >>The direct outcomes of the MigrArts project are:>The definition of a methodological framework>The establishment of an inclusive and emancipating approach of migrants through cultural and artistic activities through which the cultural Rights of migrants are taken into account>The training of structures working in the cultural, cultural mediation and the integration of migrants in taking into account the cultural rights of migrants in their activities thanks to facilitating tools.>The following facilitating tools :-Practical guide for an inclusive and emancipatory approach to migrants through cultural and artistic activities-Pedagogical frameworks to enhance adults training in the thematic areas of the MigrArts project.The other expected effects of the project are:>The exchange of good practices within a European consortium>The promotion of the European cultural heritage and of a European identity through arts and cultural practices.> Raising public and political awareness at several levels (local, national and European) concerning the integration of migrants and specifically through arts and culture."
