‘Signs’ goes North project creates an innovative model to promote cultural diversity and social inclusion. It develops methods and material to support emerging linguistic, communication and cultural need of refugees and newly arrived migrants, providing tailored solutions for their early integration. ’Signs’ Goes North developed and piloted a practical learning model “Feel the city – share the feeling”, where newly arrived migrants/refugees, long-term migrants, staff of supporting organisations and native citizens worked together locally to defining specific needs, selecting places of interest and linguistic and cultural themes in their cities. The model allows the newcomers to understand the local culture better and to obtain skills in team work with local comunities and natives; on the other hand, the original population understands who the refugees are, and how to include them in mutual activities.
