I. Scope
Initiated by iriv, the Mediateur-interculturel project was supported by the ACSE and Uniformation.
II. Objectives
The training programme was built keeping in mind the following issues :
1. being focussed on professionals working with migrants with the emblematic professional figure of the intercultural mediator ;
2. keeping in mind the mediation approach : integrating both migrants’ and institutions’ sides and so remaining as neutral as possible ;
3. insisting on the main specificities of cultural mediation meant to solve conflicts and so proposing a process, some elements of solutions and examples of best practices ;
4. valuing an innovative support of training : the e-learning ;
5. enriching the knowledge on migrants and migration issues and the concrete problems faced on the ground by professionals working with them ;
6. integrating the public approach : cultural mediation may be different when addressing different profiles of migrants (such as women, youngsters, elderly) ;
7. taking into account the different domains in which cultural mediators are mainly asked to work, avoiding the negative approach (justice, police, retention centre…).
8. Enhancing the European perspective : some European countries may be more in advance in this field but are eager to lean form the other countries’ experience.
III. Results
- a programme de formation ;
- a publication (number 5 in iriv's publications) ;
- a website : www.mediateur-interculturel.net
