The SICRIE Project aims to address the traditional stereotypes, historical prejudice, ignorance or fear that sometimes hinders meaningful interaction and integration as the movement of people within Europe increases.
The partners in the project – Northern Ireland, Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Lithuania – have agreed to collect and share stories and images of the various experiences of integration or exclusion of those living on cultural and religious interfaces within their communities. We will meet through seminars and workshops on four occasions – once in each location.
Participants are adults from ethnic and religious interfaces, including older people and those from marginal social contexts with limited opportunity to encounter others from different religious or ethnic backgrounds and have had limited or no exposure to adult education.
Our objectives are to provide participants with a pathway to: • improve their knowledge of different cultural, ethnic and religious contexts • contribute to the alleviation of misconceptions, fears and suspicions enabling greater social inclusion and cohesion • gain the confidence to engage further in adult education
A key outcome will be the development of ‘An Integration and Interaction Toolkit’ which will be of wider benefit within the partnership communities, for those with similar training courses or engaged in research.
