iHopP – workshop

Intermediae

Friday 27th Oct. 16:00 - 18:00

iHopP is a creative project that aims at creating an intercultural dialogue platform to facilitate integration of new comers and local community members. The word “iHopP” is a mash-up of the Swedish words “ihop” (together) and “hopp” (hope). In iHopP, we used digital storytelling to get voices heard and give meaning and context to the participants’ experiences. We filmed more than 20 stories in Gothenburg and Malmö in 2017. Each story is one minute long. It ranges from a tango dance to a Syrian father escaping the war with his little daughter. The project is organized by National Museums of World Culture in the framework of the Rebuild Refuge Europe project, funded by the Creative Europe program. Come to the screening of the stories and talk to the project curator and leader.
