About the Event
On 21 April, the Intercultural Dialogue Platform and Fedactio are organising a training programme on the theme of social inclusion of newly arrived third-country nationals into European societies through culture and art. The event will be open to people living in Belgium and willing to get involved as local volunteers in the activities that will follow.
The main objectives of the event are to train staff and volunteers and exchange information in the field of intercultural communication and to raise awareness of the role of culture in the social inclusion process.
The event is part of Inclusive Europe, a project funded by the European Commission, which aims to facilitate the process of inclusion of newly arrived migrants in host societies by involving local communities and promoting mutual understanding between migrants and locals. The Inclusive Europe project has a total of eight partners from six European countries: Belgium, Italy, Greece, Spain, the Netherlands and Hungary.

About the Intercultural Campaign
The Intercultural Europe campaign aims to foster mutual understanding between newcomers and locals, highlighting commonalities, underlining how different cultures can enrich one's personal life and stimulating participants' curiosity about different histories and cultures. In Belgium, IDP and Fedactio plan to organise cine clubs, storytelling sessions and visits to historical, artistic and religious sites.
