The concept of the project emerged last year during a conversation between a Romanian volunteer of PECO of Hungarian descent that just moved to Genova and Iro, a Greek woman living in Spain about the cultural shocks they faced as expats. To highlight how diversity, when accepted and celebrated, can enhance communities, they decided to develop this project together. Around 15-20% of Genova's population consists of immigrants and similar percentages can be found in the regions of partner organizations like Almeria (Spain) & Porto (Portugal). Many migrants in these regions experience disconnection from their cultural roots & face increasing xenophobia & discrimination, which exacerbate divisions within communities. On the other hand, in Romania, the Hungarian minority comprise about 20% of Transylvania's population, covering a third of the country. Nowadays the community maintains its language, culture & educational institutions, however, they tend to isolate themselves & not interact with the nationals of the country or other ethnic groups. Because of this cultural divide, many second-generation migrants or members of minorities, especially youth, struggle with their sense of belonging & identity, to find their place in the community they live in while maintaining their cultural heritage. They face challenges in language, cultural expression & encounter barriers for personal & professional development. Another important point is that in Genova - a context characterized by a very elderly population (average age 49.4 years, while young people represent only 15.5%) - and the hinterland areas, there are few opportunities for active youth participation and, not finding their place, a lot of young people emigrate outside the region. This perspective encouraged PECO to focus on creating opportunities for active participation & bridging local realities through European mobility opportunities (as this mobility), particularly for involving young people facing social, economic & cultural barriers. Moreover, PECO has become a founding member of Foundation EUtopia, who has recently acquired a venue in Casaleggio Boiro (AL) (which will be the venue also of this project) & aims at creating bridges also with this local community, where exposure to multiculturality instead is very small - with a population of just 351, the inhabitants face limited self-development opportunities & moments to meet people from different backgrounds, leading many to seek work, education or cultural events in Genova. The youth, coming from towns like this, having very little previous exposure to diversity, can feel shocked when encountering it and it can foster discrimination. Therefore, introducing interculturality in a local reality like this & involving the locals in project activities can benefit a lot for decreasing the cultural divide in the long term. The project emphasizes the celebration of diverse cultural heritages & artistic expression, which resonates with Erasmus+’s aim to promote cultural diversity & intercultural dialogue. By involving and empowering young people, including members of minorities or with migrant backgrounds, the project aims at bridging groups that are often perceived as clashing and give them a platform to share their cultural narratives. By using arts & crafts as a medium for intercultural dialogue, the project aims to foster social inclusion & integration among diverse groups, fostering a sense of belonging. On this note, the aim of this project is to bring together not only nationals of the countries involved, but also young people from minorities and with migrant backgrounds to celebrate the diverse cultural heritages through hands-on workshops & artistic expressions. The objectives are: 1. Fostering multiculturalism & integration among different groups by creating an inclusive environment that encourages understanding & appreciation of diverse cultures. 2. Developing transversal competencies & soft skills, such as: teamwork, communication & creativity, through experiential learning. 3. Engaging the participants in hands-on learning of traditional arts & crafts that reflect their cultural identities & practices. 4. Creating collective artworks that embody the shared experiences & cultural narratives of participants, leaving a lasting impact on the newly acquired rural space. 5. Promoting the Erasmus+ program & the opportunities offered by the European Commission as opportunities to discover & celebrate cultural diversity.
