The multimedia installation “Immaginiamo il futuro” will open in Rome on 18 June in the garden of the Casa Internazionale delle Donne.
The first stop of this travelling exhibition, created within the framework of the AMIL – Alliance Multi-stakeholders for Migrants Integration and Labour project, will take place during “Portarsi via la notte”, an event organised by Programma Integra – our project partner – in the week leading up to World Refugee Day.
Through images, videos and testimonies collected in Italy, Greece and Cyprus, the exhibition highlights personal and professional growth journeys, placing skills, aspirations and stories of socio-economic inclusion at its centre. It offers a journey through experiences and perspectives, providing a tangible insight into the contribution migrants make to the communities where they live and work.
This collective narrative weaves together individual experiences and shared dimensions, emphasising the value of relationships, the right to build one’s future and the transformative opportunities that emerge when inclusion and welcoming practices become a reality.
A collective story of experiences and skills
The installation stems from the soft skills workshops developed within the AMIL project and takes shape as an immersive storytelling space where personal stories, skills and cultural identities intersect.
Through photographs, audiovisual content and narrative materials, the exhibition gives voice to participants, sharing their personal and professional development journeys. The works on display reflect a diversity of experiences, bringing together cultures, languages and life stories while creating a collective narrative capable of overcoming stereotypes and simplifications.
The workshops behind the exhibition
“Immaginiamo il futuro” brings together the outcomes of several workshops developed by AMIL project partners, across the countries involved, for the inclusion of migrant people in the labour market.
- In Rome, the Soft Skills and Storytelling Workshop guided participants to recognise and value their skills. acquired through life, education and work experiences, while learning how to communicate them effectively in professional contexts and job interviews.
- Also in Rome, the Soft Skills and Theatre Workshop used theatre as a tool to strengthen listening, communication, confidence and interpersonal skills.
- In Greece, the Cultural Decoding & Life Skills Workshop provided a space for encouraging participants to recognise the value of their cultural and professional backgrounds, strengthening self-esteem, empowerment and active participation in integration pathways.
- In Cyprus, the Job Readiness Workshop – CV, Soft Skills & Employment Rights in Cyprus equipped participants with practical tools for entering the labour market.
A space for encounter and dialogue
More than a traditional exhibition, “Immaginiamo il futuro” is conceived as a space for encounter between local communities and migrants. Visitors are invited to listen to stories, explore images and engage with experiences that speak of challenges, skills, aspirations and pathways to inclusion. The aim is to foster greater mutual understanding and contribute to the creation of more open and cohesive communities.
Because inclusion is not only a project objective: it is a process built every day through listening, dialogue and mutual recognition.
