About
Empowering educators for migrant, refugee and host communities to learn to live together.
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted solidarity between people of diverse religious and cultural backgrounds; however, it has also exacerbated tensions between migrant, refugee and host communities in Europe.
Hate speech, stigmatization, incitement to discrimination and xenophobia have increased during the pandemic, building on an existing and generalized culture of mistrust in societies.
The Solidarity project is a collaboration between Arigatou International and the Integration Center for Migrant Workers-Ecumenical Refugee Program (KSPM-ERP), co-funded by the Network for Dialogue (N4D) micro-grant and the KAICIID Dialogue Center.
Organized by:
Supported by the International Dialogue Centre (KAICIID) – Network for Dialogue
The Solidarity project aims to empower educators to use intercultural and interfaith education through transformative pedagogical approaches that promote children’s well-being, social transformation and their capacity to learn to live together.
The project also focuses on the important aspect of psychosocial support needed to ensure the social, emotional and spiritual well-being of children and create conducive learning environments.
The project engages educators working with children from migrant, refugee and host communities from across Europe in a series of three online webinars to create dialogue, awareness and capacity on the transformative role of education in enabling children from migrant, refugee and host communities to learn to live together in solidarity.
