If you are interested in participating in the European project ReBel (Redesign Belonging) and submitting your project to the Open Call we have just launched, you should not miss one of the webinars where we will explain the context in which this project is launched, tell you more about our research and guide you through the application process. During the webinar there will also be time to ask questions about the applications.
ReBel is a project that aims to explore how design and co-creation can enrich the sense of belonging of people who have had to migrate from their home countries to Europe. The call to participate in this co-design is open to people involved in design, but also to students or creative and thinking people who have good ideas to help us to do so.
So far, we have heard from more than 200 women in Finland, Spain and the Netherlands who have shared their experiences and challenges with us. They have told us how they have to adapt their lives to a new country. They have made it clear to us that belonging is not just about ‘fitting in’ in the host country, it is about feeling valued, included and empowered.Belonging means feeling connected, to people, places and communities. For migrants this involves navigating new languages, cultures and systems while seeking inclusion and understanding.Small actions, such as inclusive activities or access to information, can make a difference.
