As part of the “Inclusion in Times of Exclusion” project, funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme, an outreach video has also been produced with the aim of publicising the work carried out, sharing lessons learnt and raising awareness of the realities faced by many migrants in vulnerable situations.

The video presents the project’s approach, its objectives and some of the initiatives developed to promote social inclusion, community participation and the creation of opportunities for migrants. This audiovisual resource aims to bring the project closer to the public and encourage reflection on the importance of building more open, supportive and inclusive societies.

Building a more welcoming community is only possible when the community is involved: for us, this means organising events and awareness-raising initiatives for the public that promote interaction, mutual understanding and intercultural dialogue, and that focus on the stories of the people we welcome and, more broadly, of migrants and refugees.

That is why, whether for a specific occasion such as Refugee Day or as part of neighbourhood festivals where we are present with our reception centres, every event is important to us for creating spaces for inclusion and socialising.

Furthermore, we are actively involved in various projects at local, national and European level to promote opportunities for encounters, exchange and youth leadership across the region, with a particular focus on the role of volunteering. The main objective is to listen to those involved and make room for different perspectives and narratives, because it is through encounter and relationship that truly welcoming communities can emerge, where everyone is valued and where everyone has the chance to live a dignified and free life

We provide practical methods to make it easier to engage children who function differently in group settings—whether they have attention issues, sensory sensitivities, or behavioral challenges. Our methods are easy to understand, accessible to anyone, and require no prior training or special financial investment.

We believe that every child is capable of connecting—you just have to find the right way to reach them. That’s why we’re here to help you so you can help them.

Our mission is to help children who come from tough backgrounds—whether it's because they have attention issues, sensory challenges, anxiety, or are dealing with a lot of stress—feel like they’re part of something bigger, a shared experience. We genuinely believe that forming connections, working together, and just enjoying each other's company isn’t a privilege but a basic right for all children.

In this new episode of Radio Inclusión, we visit Red Íncola, a key organisation in Valladolid that has been working since 2006 to provide comprehensive support to vulnerable migrants. We spoke with some of their team to gain an insight into their day-to-day work, the vital role of volunteering, the impact of European projects in areas such as youth, education and interculturalism, and the reality faced by migrant women, which is often characterised by multiple forms of discrimination and invisibility. An episode that shines a spotlight on inclusion, diversity and social commitment from a personal, human and transformative perspective.

The volunteers at Popoli Insieme play a vital role in our organisation. Choosing to spend your free time supporting refugees and asylum seekers, promoting intercultural education and raising awareness at a local level means being part of a “warm welcome”, which involves welcoming not only refugees, but also volunteers and local residents into our vision of community.
