New page

The AIMISOLA project is born out of a feeling of rootlessness that many immigrant women experience in various European countries, and the responsibility of the various governments to facilitate mechanisms that would make their social and labor integration possible.

Many have children born in these host countries, making them 'doers' of these countries and, therefore, deserving of basic resources, which have been declining since the beginning of economic crisis (lack of employment, lack of places in state kindergartens , etc.)

The project director is Augustine Abila, professional of social intervention in Spain since 1999. Augustine helds a doctorate in Spanish Philology from the Complutense University of Madrid and is the president of the Cultural Association for the Defense of African values "ACUDEVA". Agustine is also a writer and a poetess.

El proyecto AIMISOLA nace del sentimiento de desarraigo que experimentas las mujeres inmigrantes en diversos países europeos, y de la responsabilidad de los diversos gobiernos para facilitar mecanismos que hagan posibles la integración social y laboral de estas mujeres.

Muchas de ellas tienen descendencia en los países de acogida, convirtiéndolas en ‘hacedoras’ de esos países y, por tanto, merecedoras de recursos básicos, que han ido disminuyendo desde el comienzo de la crisis (falta de salidas laborales; falta de plazas en guarderías públicas, etc.).

La directora del proyecto, Augustine Abila es profesional de la intervención social en España desde 1999. Inmigrante, doctora en Filología Española por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, presidenta de la Asociación Cultural de Defensa de Valores Africanos "ACUDEVA" y también escritora.

+Data from various studies suggest that changing demographic conditions are a major environmental factor, particularly the interests and expectations of an increasingly culturally diverse population.<br>
 The change in immigrant demographics is evident throughout the European Union, and the number of ethno-racial communities is growing. Thinking about integrating and engaging these diverse immigrant groups means devising cultural activities and artistic programs that harness interest in participatory integration activities, such as dancing, playing music, acting and storytelling, all of which could help build relationships among communities.
-Many challenges and barriers continue to stand in the way of immigrant integration, a segment of society which is rapidly growing. This project develops seeks to advance cultural pluralism by means of cultural and artistic activities as well as workshops for professional orientation, building awareness of local resources, social understanding and integration. It seeks to take advantage of the fact that many immigrant come from artisan/craft and art related activities. Their forms of expression and stories (including myths, iconography, references, techniques, etc.) may draw on the rich histories and traditions of their own cultures, not be based on Eurocentric norms.
