Challenge

Refugees in France lack professional, social, and cultural integration opportunities. Inability to access art and culture stymies their integration process, while a lack of access to employment opportunities is a major barrier to achieving self-reliance and economic integration.

Solution

Sama for All provides tailored, immersive professional training in art and museums professions in partnership with French museums and cultural centres (such as Paris’s Cité des Sciences et de l’industrie and Musee d’Orsay) and with the support of the Ministry of Culture.

Impact

Up to 25 refugees will receive 10 months of training, with at least 30% of them securing work in the cultural sector following the programme. All participants will feel an enhanced sense of belonging and social inclusion, and intercultural dialogue will be facilitated.
