Project I.COM in the Czech Republic

This project is focused on youth aged 12 – 18. The main idea of this project is to support multicultural integration using music and creative activities and compose music texts.

The aim of the project is to gain knowledge pertaining to integration to the Czech Republic and matters related to it, especially xenophobia and racism, respect, and observance and protection of human rights.

The project aims to have an impact on the negative opinion of part of society, mainly young people on migrants and refugees, through new communication tools fostering a positive reasoning regarding migration.

Through the project activities, we will fight the stereotypes concerning migrants, Muslims more particularly, and foster a respectful behavior by involving young people directly in schools.
