Summary:

‘City Cultures in focus’ aims to interpret migration phenomena as instances of creolisation as a specific mode of socio-cultural transformation connected with cultural encounter that leads to the construction of a new cultural identity. Several modules will address those questions: Views of the city, a multimedia exhibition, a diary, design workshops, presentation and discussion forums are foreseen. On such grounds, the project intends to provide policy-makers with a conceptual framework that is capable of addressing the cultural and the social development of the oncoming European society.
