How can culture and creativity become a pathway to inclusion and belonging? Join us on 16 September 2026 from 10:00 to 12:00 CEST for an inspiring webinar exploring how arts, culture and creative expression can help build more inclusive communities and strengthen migrant integration across Europe.
What to expect
Across Europe, creative initiatives are helping people connect across cultures, challenge stereotypes, develop new skills and create opportunities for social and economic participation.
For migrants, refugees and other communities at risk of exclusion, creative expression -from theatre and music to storytelling, visual arts and digital media- can become a powerful tool for building confidence, strengthening social ties and fostering a sense of belonging.
This webinar will showcase inspiring examples of how culture is transforming lives and communities while highlighting innovative participatory approaches developed through the EPIC-UP project.

During this webinar, participants will:
- Explore how culture and creativity contribute to social inclusion and empowerment.
- Discover inspiring initiatives worldwide that use arts and culture to bring diverse communities together.
- Learn about the EPIC-UP pilot projects designed to strengthen migrant integration services at the local level.
