🏢 About the local organisation
In 2016, CBB has considered the theme of migratory crisis and integration of refugees as a priority in its activity program. We have developed this through different kinds of activities as well at local as international levels.
At the beginning of this year were published the outcomes of the inquiry « Noir, Jaune, Blues » and the results agreed to say that the discharge of to live together and the fear of the other were very anchored in our current society.
Basis of this report we built the Mosaïc of Diversity project. This one aims at approaching the situation of the integration of the immigrants on the local community where they live and to identify brakes and levers which influence the integration.
This reflection will be translated into a big fresco realized by the group according to the aspiration and the ideas of the participants. They will use various creative techniques such as the painting, the graffiti, the collage, etc.
💼 What the programme involves
The participants will live various types of activities to discover the organized actions and try to deconstruct messages of hatred conveyed with regard to the situation of the migrants in Europe.
Concretely, the participants will have the opportunity to participate in an on-the-spot, to meet various speakers and young people stemming from the immigration and to take part in artistic workshops to realize big mosaic on the diversity, which will be exposed in Marche-en-Famenne.
The realized fresco will carry a collective message which will synthesize the look that the group has about the challenge of the inclusion of the immigrants and the factors which can make it difficult to realize. It is also since this fresco highlights tracks of concrete actions which must be able to work in a strengthening of the living together and in a demolition of often firm prejudices.
On October 07th the participants will have the opportunity to participate and to make a presentation of their project to the participants of the annual day of the Compagnons Bâtisseurs which usually gathers hundred people.
