Starts!
In January 2015 the partnership for E+ project DiverCity attended the Kick off meeting in Paris. “DiverCity” addresses inequalities in access to culture, in particular for young people in disadvantaged situations (with low educational, social, geographic capital). DiverCity wishes to develop methods; to re-establish museum pedagogy as an innovative source of learning, to help use exhibitions as pedagogical support to tackle the diversity characteristic of our societies, to adapt to the reception and engagement of new audiences (in particular of disadvantaged backgrounds, migrants, not regular audiences of the museums), to valorize cultural diversity as a common European resource and to propose art mediation as a grassroots method for re-appropriation of the city, the district, of addressing low prestige districts by its inhabitants, in particular young people with disadvantaged backgrounds.
During the Kick off in Paris the partners introduced themselves and discussed about the aims, activities and products of the DiverCity project. During this meeting we also launched the first two big steps of the project (research of good practices and foundation bricks) and decided a concrete action plan for the following months.
The partners also enjoyed their informal time together having lunch and dinner together to get to know more about each other. Even if they have to wait a few months to see each other again, the partnership established a close collaboration plan and based on a regular communication bases. As a result of our time together we felt empowered, excited and a lot of enthusiasm about our DiverCity adventure!
