Objective
In the process of EU enlargement, the need for building good neighbourhoods across and within EU nation states is periodically challenged by "nationalised" socio-political conflicts which at the same time, encourage parties on the extreme right. Our project aims to explore and compare models of 'translocal' neighbourhood, focusing on emerging discourses and good practices in three spheres of life in the new Europe: 'Physical "borderlands" of the new EU 'Mental border experiences in multicultural EU regions 'Mental and physical border experiences in transnational networks.
It rests on the assumption that it is impossible to understand the processes which create obstacles to and opportunities for good neighbourhood across state borders, if one does not understand and challenge obstacles created by mental/symbolic divisions wherever they occur. We will explore the dynamics of socio-cultural and physical borders in the newly enlarged European Union, as experienced by people of culturally diverse backgrounds, with a view to strengthen peoples' competence for cultural understanding and exchange.
The following objectives form the core:
- To understand the interdependency of 'physical' (geopolitical) and 'mental' borders in the creation and obstruction of good neighbourhood;
- To understand the ways in which 'neighbourhood' is experienced by diverse groups of people, to compare what prompts them in different contexts;
- To compare visions of, and obstacles to good neighbourhood building by exploring people's self-perception, in-grouping and out grouping in the three contexts;
- To identify and evaluate through user response existing policies, and official/civil society activities for good neighbourhood-building;
- To compare user response to 'top-down' measures with the success of self-determined, 'bottom-up' activities;
- To strengthen or put into practice innovative sustainable initiatives for good neighbourhoods through workshops and cultural events.
