A lot has changed over the last decade around both attitudes/perception of refugees and continuing support of multiculturalism and diversity. Populism in Europe and beyond and the rise of extremist parties in many European countries is not helping this debate where xenophobia and far of the ‘other’ is increasing. A better understanding of other cultures and more initiatives to foster intercultural education become now more relevant than before. ‘Signs’ goes North project creates an innovative model to promote cultural diversity and social inclusion. The project is based on the highly successful Signs in the City methodology for obtaining basic language, communication and intercultural skills by exploring city’s signs signs and symbols (street signs, bar, restaurant, shop, banks, post office, graffiti and anything else ‘printed' as part of a city). ’Signs’ Goes North extended this methodology with innovative features matching the urgent needs of refugees and newly arrived migrants to understand the place, the language and culture in the host country, and transferred it to the important context of migrants and refugees integration in Sweden, Netherlands, Iceland and Denmark. Project objectives focused on:• providing refugees and newly arrived migrants with the means to adapt to a place of arrival easily and effectively, help them socialise and express themselves;• providing creative mutual learning experience for newcomers and natives, fostering respect and understanding for diversity, intercultural competencies and values;• developing effectively model for the inclusion of newcomers at the municipal level;• remove barriers to integration and promote equality of opportunity.’Signs’ Goes North project developed methods and material to support emerging linguistic, communication and cultural need of refugees and newly arrived migrants, providing tailored solutions for their early integration. Project approach compromised a needs analysis: focusing on target groups need in terms of better cultural integration, a communicative competence model: embedding the target groups in the development of the products, and mentoring and peer support: partnership and community learning using the expertise of experienced partners. This approach covers the different perspectives of migrants’ integration process, and turned into a prerequisite for immediate testing and implementation¨ and future sustainability.’Signs’ Goes North developed and piloted a practical learning model “Feel the city - share the feeling”, where newly arrived migrants/refugees, long-term migrants, staff of supporting organisations and native citizens worked together locally to defining specific needs, selecting places of interest and linguistic and cultural themes in their cities, were co-creators of content and material (working in partnership with partners and experts). The model allows the newcomers to understand the local culture better and to obtain skills in team work with local comunities and natives; on the other hand, the original population understands who the refugees are, and how to include them in mutual activities.While bidging digital art and storytelling and educational content the project developed:City and Language books - “Signs i Bollnäs och Söderhamn”, “Signs in Rotterdam”, “Signs in Reykjavik”, “Vis os Vejle/Signs in Vejle” - with visual and linguistic content for the hosting cities and languages, containing photography of city signs and related survival vocabulary, language and culture guidelines and facts, communicational tips;Digital Stories of cities and migrants - 8 short films telling the stories of 23 migrants, who already experienced the integration process in Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark and Iceland, presenting a community of many cultures within the host city and migrants’ own voice and vision;Digital learning resource - freely accessible, multidevice digital versions of the books, incl. audio pronouncation and translation into English.Project ouputs influenced the integration by involving migrants in practical inclusive activities together with local citizens and stakeholders, that were integral part of the development of the products - selection of linguistic and cultural content, local workshops, filming, content development and testing, informational and awareness-raising activities, etc. Thus, migrants were provided with competences to integrate in the local society during the project life. Project activities have been implemented by a consortium of 7 partners from 6 European countries (SE, NL, DK, IS, RO, UK) all having significant and complementary expertise in development and promotion of high quality outputs and their mainstreaming in the partner countries and beyond.
