Project
I belong to a team of researchers working on the project “La langue des oiseaux”. During the stay, we will work on a research study on the Obstacles and Opportunities for Migrants and Refugees’ Artistic Development in Europe. We will present a tentative analysis of the evidence collected during the international workshops on performing arts made so far and conduct interviews and focus groups with the artists and trainees of these workshops to delve deeper into their perspectives. We will also work on the drawing up and implementation of monitoring and evaluation tools for the whole project in terms of scientific usefulness.
