Culture

Active participation and involvement in cultural life is one of the biggest drivers of social integration. Culture also has the potential to promote social cohesion. Processes and questions of social coexistence can be expressed, shaped, negotiated and modified in cultural and artistic forms. Cultural activity also provides opportunities to examine and negotiate social values. It creates space for the past, present and future. Cultural institutions have a socio-educational mandate. Addressing migration and refugee experiences via artistic and creative expression helps societies leave familiar paths and explore new approaches. This allows us not only to reach new target groups, but also to foster global networking in the arts and other cultural projects.
