CONCEPT

Integrating refugees in a host country is crucial in giving them a fair chance in society. That is only possible if people learn to deal with diversity and understand its potential. Connecting Cultures is a digital and physical toolkit that guides people in intercultural contact. With explanations and small exercises, it supports them in the different phases of the acculturation curve. In the beginning, those exercises mainly function as conversation starters. Further on, the objective is to discover, understand and accept cultural differences and of course similarities, by means of small association games. Connecting Cultures can easily be integrated into existing matching platforms, and thus reach more people.
