Within Europe the discourse around forcibly displaced people remains focussed on prevention or crisis management, with examples of criminalisation of solidarity. The future political context is uncertain, including the impact of Brexit and an increasingly hostile environment for refugee and migrant communities in the UK. We are year one into a global pandemic and we have refugee camps on our soil. We must be proactive in supporting people seeking safety and protection. This includes addressing holistic integration needs and not just emergency response. Arts and culture play a powerful role in helping people settle into new environments, nurturing communities and building a society where everyone feels welcome, included and able to lead rich and fulfilling lives. We want to create a three year programme and platform for artists, cultural activists and workers from refugee and migrant backgrounds (including people currently seeking protection) so that they are fully enabled and supported to access their rights and actively participate and play a meaningful role in shaping Scottish cultural and social life. We want to make Scotland ?a safe place to and thrive?. Cross Borders is programme of arts and cultural activism, thematic events, workshops, mentoring, training, grants and collaborations which will create a collective voice and platform to influence long term social change, increase professional and social connections, increase public awareness of, and counter negative narratives around refugees and migrants. The programme has been informed by, and will be co-curated and produced with practitioners from refugee and migrant backgrounds, centring refugee and migrant experiences, providing professional and talent development opportunities and building a peer solidarity network throughout the programme. ?The arts and culture can provide a welcome space ? both physical and ideological ? for people with different perspectives on divisive issues to interact, engage in dialogue, negotiate difference, and foster mutual understanding. Through the respectful exchange of values, knowledge and experience, inclusive groups can develop bridging capital, establish trust and develop cooperative capabilities to realise cultures of belonging. In so doing, cultural leaders are integral at the vanguard of social change.? (IFACCA, 2019)
