CULTURE AND MIGRATION

The book "Culture and Migration - Α path towards cultural integration of refugees and migrants" consists of an array of research, quantitative and qualitative, on cultural organisations regarding the cultural integration of refugees and migrants. Cultural organizations during the recent migration crisis, from 2015 onwards, have organised numerous cultural activities aiming to integrate refugees and migrants. More specifically, people on the move either refugees or immigrants, upon entering a host country experience a new reality, painful and traumatic but sometimes creative and culturally rich. In this context, museums, galleries or small NGOs, can be instrumental in the effort to integrate, support their education and improve migrant’s living conditions. In addition, efforts have been made to preserve and reproduce in the host country intangible cultural heritage issues, to remain unchanged over time despite the displacement of the population due to war or other violent movements. This project appeals to those involved in cultural and social integration organizations for refugees and migrants. It is also a valuable tool for academic research in the field of human rights and cultural studies and for those working in the field of RSD (Refugee Status Determination).
