„Intercultural Education Landscape“ is a networking project for migrant organizations and daycare institutions. Working on integration together!

THE IDEA OF THE PROJECT

The growing diversity of today’s society offers new opportunities for closer cooperation between migrant self-organizations (MSO) and children daycare institutions (DC). Globalization and the refugee situation increase the cultural variety in daycare facilities, as well as the necessity of knowledge exchange between the two institutions. Such exchange is crucial for a successful integration of migrant children into the upbringing- and educational landscape of Dresden and surroundings. This collaboration is a very important precondition of building a prejudice-conscious coexistence in our society.

OUR GOAL

Opening up of migrant organizations and daycare institutions for each other through:

  • Initiating of mutual acquaintance
  • Organization of a professional exchange between the daycare centers and MSO to stimulate the cooperation in the field of integration
