Description du projet
Promouvoir les solidarités au-delà des frontières ethno-culturelles
La montée du populisme national et des partis d’extrême droite en Europe constitue une menace importante pour toutes les formes de solidarité, en particulier la solidarité entre les membres de divers groupes ethnoculturels. Les démocraties européennes devraient donc identifier les conditions qui peuvent encourager et promouvoir la solidarité dans la diversité, en tenant compte des inégalités sociales et des positions de pouvoir inégales entre les différents groupes. Le projet SOLiDi, financé par l’UE, a développé un programme de formation et de recherche pour former 15 chercheurs en début de carrière aux théories, méthodes de recherche et à l’éthique pertinentes dans diverses disciplines. Le programme de formation et de recherche se concentrera également sur les paradigmes du changement social, étudiant comment les connaissances scientifiques sur la solidarité dans la diversité peuvent être appliquées dans différents contextes politiques et organisations. À terme, le projet fournira aux professionnels et aux institutions des idées et des instruments pour bâtir des sociétés européennes cohésives.
Objectif
Over the last decade, liberal democracies in Europe have been shaken to their core by the rise of national populisms. This puts strong pressure on all forms of solidarity, especially as they cross ethnic-cultural boundaries. The increasingly successful capture of the notion of solidarity by radical right, anti-liberal democratic forces is testimony to this. The challenge for European democracies is to identify the conditions under which solidarities in diversity can be nurtured. To address this urgent challenge, the European Training Network “Solidarity in Diversity” (SOLiDi) develops a training and research program that is focused on how to generate solidarities across cultural boundaries, taking the proximity of citizens with different ethnic-cultural backgrounds in specific places and the practices they engage in as starting point. Building on the strengths of the interculturalist paradigm, SOLiDi will originally contribute with an intersectional understanding of how place-based solidarity practices are shaped by and can work around entrenched social inequalities and unequal power relations. To that end, SOLiDi brings together a group of international scholars from sociology, geography and educational science and a wide range of non-academic partners that are active in different sectors. SOLiDi will train 15 early stage researchers in relevant theories, research methods and ethics and paradigms of social change such as public pedagogy and policy and organisational change to study practices of place-based solidarities in diversity in different geographical, policy and organisational contexts. The aim is to articulate a new vision on solidarity adapted to superdiverse societies and to better equip professionals and organisations with adequate and innovative tools for facilitating solidarity in diversity. SOLiDi aims are in line with SDG10 “Reduced Inequalities” and Societal Challenge 6 ‘Europe in a changing world - Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies’.
