CREATIVE PRoduction In Social Entreprises for Migrants and Asylum seekers

Description

The CREATIVE PRISMA project addresses the issue of the large amounts of migrant and asylum seekers. The employment of refugees is vital for their survival and for their integration into the society in which they will settle and to fight against the marginalisation of these populations. The fashion and creative industry, as well as the reuse and reorientation of textiles and clothing, is a solution facilitating dialogue between different cultures and contributing to the integration of migrants.The CREATIVE PRISMA project brought together partners from different domains with multiple skills: Boréal Innovation, a local development and business support cooperative in France, the Club for Unesco of Piraeus and the Piraeus Islands, a major cultural actor, active in the setting up of structures, humanitarian aid to support disadvantaged people and refugees, IDEC, a certified Greek vocational training centre, a consulting and software development company, CESIE, an Italian association supporting migrants and developing countries, FAMYLIAS, a social initiative cooperative and PADIL, a Tunisian development agency aiming at the development of an inclusive society.The different profiles of the project partners, their competences and their knowledge of the subject dealt with made it possible to meet the project's major objective: to support refugees by developing their entrepreneurial profile and specific skills in fashion and creativity. In the long term, the target groups will have to be financially independent and included in local societies. The project followed a logical path to reach its objectives: - The collection of good practices: The project partners conducted a total of 40 interviews in France, Spain, Greece and Italy with immigrants from outside the EU who have created a fashion or design business. In total, 26 countries of origin were represented and a very large number of activities (graphic designers, dressmakers, designers, shoemakers, painters, jewellers). Through these interviews, trends and good practices common to all the life stories were highlighted and served as a basis for future work of the project. - Individual training and learning: Thanks to good practices identified during field surveys and existing research on this subject, the CREATIVE PRISMA partnership has set up a training course for newcomers, refugees or people settling in a new country. The CREATIVE PRISMA training has therefore been divided into two separate chapters: entrepreneurship and fashion/creation. Each of the chapters is itself made up of 10 learning units. This organisation offers learners a complete look at managing an activity with units on the business model, negotiation or networking, but also on design and fashion with units on colours, fabrics or the use of social networks in fashion. The units aim to provide basic knowledge but also a fresh look at the European specificities identified by the good practice guide. - An App and an e-learning platformThe main objective of the CREATIVE PRISMA project was to make the learning content available: this has been achieved with the CREATIVE PRISMA application and platform. Indeed, the partners have developed a mobile application that can be downloaded on Android and an online platform. These tools allow any creator, designer or newcomer to a European country to learn by himself. The application and the platform allow the monitoring of all the activities developed previously, access to additional reading, monitoring of progress, validation of skills through quizzes and the delivery of badges. During the 24 months of the project, the partners have continuously developed links with refugee support associations, social enterprises and creative people in order to communicate the project's achievements as effectively as possible. Many of these actors have participated in the project or in the testing of digital tools. The achievements of the project, available until 2025, are today intended to be used by the greatest number of people, as anyone interested in fashion or entrepreneurship can find useful information for these needs. The local partners will continue to bring the project to life through information events and training resulting from the project's research.The subject of welcoming migrants and their integration into society remains a key issue for European success.
