The InterMEDs as a practice for establishing communities’ coalition and mutual understanding, is built on the special training of members of both communities, either local ones or migrant communities. The members of these communities will be the InterMEDs, the individuals who will act as specific intermediators between different cultures. The key skills of an intercultural intermediator are social responsibility, intercultural understanding and the skills to use all forms of promotion, such as arts, culture, media, training for the enhancement of respect, tolerance, cooperation and community coalition.
The project includes 8 partners (PESHKAR, OTB EUROPE, PANTEION, CAMINOS, Mindshift, CSI, XENIOS POLIS, CID) from 6 countries (UK, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, North Macedonia) and it targets:
a) members, leaders or representatives of local communities, NGOs, Civil Society Associations, Associations of Immigrants/Refugees, organizations supporting inclusion-integration practices, human rights, intercultural exchange, b) public bodies staff and public servants-administrative staff in relative positions who are in need to acquire all these intercultural skills, necessary for daily contact with different cultural backgrounds citizens.
