Interesting cultural & migrant initiatives from different corners of Europe 🇪🇺

In our journey Roots of the Future, we constantly search for opportunities to broaden our horizons and to learn from different initiatives in order to get the best practices, integrate them into our own work and bring out impactful results.

‚‚Youth workers in EU are able to promote and provide social harmony on the basis of respect and understanding.“
Carla Molteni, ESC volunteer of CultureGoesEurope Erfurt e.V. in Germany

The members of our team are encouraged to seek these opportunities and inspirations and share them with you.

Roots of the Future was created within the framework of Solidarity project. Group of a diverse young people demonstrate the power of together to address local challenges. Through different initiatives they aim to:

influence people’s perception on refugees and migrants in a more open-minded way

create an inclusive society through active citizenship and cooperation

The best way how to gain meaningful knowledge on youth work is through exchange, case studies of intercultural actions and cultural & migrant initiatives.

Therefore it is very important for our team to learn about how the youth & community can promote migrant integration and how empowerment works through intercultural youth work.

The Open-Air Festival For Democratic Education „Dialogue for Democracy“ in Erfurt, Germany

From the 15th to the 21st of August one of our members had a chance to take a part in a Study visit ‚Intercultural Trialogues‚ in Germany. This project gathered 20 youth workers & activists, many with migration backgrounds to share experiences, methods, and case studies of migrant/intercultural actions in their local realities with a focus on the use of spaces, e.g. youth & community centers.

This program was designed to provide opportunities to find a common ground between young people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Moreover, there were used methods that are based on non-formal education, involving non-verbal techniques, and methodologies that focus on movements, dancing, and singing.

There was a space for us to share different study cases. Among all examples from all over the Europe and beyond, the Solidarity project Roots of the Future was presented.
