Birlikte Yaşamak!
Talking. Reaching out to each other. Living in diversity.
Vienna is a city in which many migrant and autochthonous communities live peacefully together and side by side. As part of a diverse urban society, people with Turkish roots, together with their various ethno-cultural, political-religious sub-communities, form one of the largest groups. Depending on the individual situation, identity and social positioning, there are different as well as overlapping needs, concerns, challenges and conflicting areas with society as a whole and with each other. It is important to work through these in a comprehensive dialogue process in an understanding and solution-oriented way.The dialogue project “BIRLIKTE YAŞAMAK! – Reden. Aufeinander zugehen. In Vielfalt leben.” offers a platform on which, together and in cooperation with the sub-communities of Turkish origin in Vienna, prejudices and dividing lines with society as a whole, as well as among themselves, can be dismantled in an understanding and solution-oriented manner.
Due to this approach, the peace-building, bridge-building resources and attitudes within the sub-communities of Turkish origin and subcommunities of similar experiences are strengthened. With the help of a comprehensive, communication-oriented dialogue process, a contribution is to be made to break down the existing barriers, devaluations and hostilities so that a better coexistence becomes possible for all. To this end, a variety of activities and projects are taking place and are being continuously developed.
“Birlikte Yasamak!” is a project co-financed by the European Union (AMIF) and the Federal Chancellery and realised in cooperation between EDUCULT and think.difference.
