Support, connect and open dialogues with minorities in your area
About the project
This is a community intervention that focuses on creating the opportunity to open a dialogue with refugees and other minorities in your community, by writing public messages of love and unity to make them feel welcome and appreciated in the area.
The formula
Impact and main outcomes
The impact of community interventions can sometimes be underestimated. In times of great social fragmentation, to create small, accessible and yet powerful messages and open a space for connection can change entire neighbourhoods and city areas. This is an intervention that has been successfully used all over the globe as an ice-breaker to then develop more projects and community work.
