The first cycle of ALDA’s arts and crafts workshops in the framework of WEMIN has officially started!
On the 6th and 7th of July, ALDA animated a workshop on embroidery and herbal dyeing in collaboration with the seamstress Felis Catus at “Lieu d’Europe”, a public space of education in European citizenship in Strasbourg. Women coming from France, Armenia, Mali, Guinea, Italy and Spain had the chance to learn about these artistic techniques while exchanging and getting to know each other. The continuation of ALDA’s arts & crafts workshops will be in September: two more days of embroidery and herbal dyeing, a second cycle of upcycling (18, 20, 25, 27, September and 2 and 4 October) and a third cycle of photography (7, 9, 10, 21, 23 and 25 October). Some of their creations will be exposed at the end of October at an exhibition that will last for two days.
WEMIN is a two-year project aimed at the integration and empowerment of migrant and refugee women funded by the European Union’s AMIF (Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund) program. The consortium is composed by 9 partners, and ALDA is the coordinator of the communication and dissemination activities. In the framework of WEMIN, ALDA has implemented as well other local activities for migrant and refugee women such as empowerment and mentoring sessions or language and culture courses.
