The Talk2Me project brings together partners committed to inclusion and diversity through intercultural exchanges and artistic practices linked to non-formal education. The initiative explores the connection between multiculturalism and multilingualism, encouraging young people to build bridges between cultures. By fostering intercultural dialogue, Talk2Me aims to break down barriers, dispel prejudices, and promote mutual learning among migrants, asylum seekers, and local residents.
In the first phase of the Talk2Me project, each partner co-created creative linguistic practices, methods, and collective artistic projects. This phase involved a diverse range of stakeholders, including FLE educators, students, researchers, migrants, asylum seekers, artists, and social workers. Through five workshops held between April and October, we engaged various audiences in testing and refining these tools. All the developed tools will be compiled into a booklet, providing trainers with practical resources to use beyond the project.
In the second phase, starting in February, the project focuses on three key activities leading to a collective artistic creation. First, a series of workshops will use the developed tools to foster group cohesion and encourage multilingualism. Second, a "job-shadowing" activity will allow participants to immerse themselves in different contexts, exchanging techniques and experiences while deepening their understanding of migration realities in partner countries. Finally, the third activity will be the co-creation of a collective artwork or event—whether a photo exhibition, a theatrical or sound performance—bringing together newcomers and locals in a shared creative experience.
Talk2Me is coordinated by Les Têtes de l'art (Marseille, France), with partners including Synergy of Music Theatre (Larissa, Greece), Centro di Creazione e Cultura (Florence, Italy), Subjective Values Foundation (Budapest, Hungary) and El Instituto Andaluz de Formación y Mercado (Sevilla, Spain).
Talk2Me is funded by Erasmus+] as a collaborative project in the field of intercultural and language education.
Multiculturalism and multilingualism are intertwined in Talk2Me, fostering inclusion through creative exchange!
Talk2Me is a project that promotes inclusion and diversity through intercultural exchanges and creative, non-formal educational practices. By fostering multilingualism and dialogue between young migrants and their peers, it builds bridges between cultures, encourages mutual understanding, and contributes to a more cohesive and inclusive European society.
