Draw Me a Migrant Project
Since its inception in 2021, this project has pursued a clear objective: to provide every citizen with the necessary tools to deconstruct stereotypes about migration and migrants.
Project progress:

1. Animations
The project began with workshops where drawing was used as a starting point. Participants drew their own representation of a migrant, which allowed stereotypes to emerge. A collective debate was then organized to confront and deconstruct these preconceived ideas.

2. Traveling exhibitions
To ensure our approach extends beyond workshops, we have created three exhibitions. They are based on the drawings and reflections from our activities, inviting the public to question their own prejudices related to immigration.
- Exhibition 1.0: Created in 2021-2022, it is the result of drawings from our first animations.
- Exposition 2.0 (pocket version): More compact and easy to install, it incorporates the lessons from our initial experiences to meet occasional demands.
- Exposition 3.0: Designed to offer more autonomy and flexibility. This new version aims to overcome the installation and animation time constraints that limited our possibilities.

3. An educational tool
We transformed over a thousand collected drawings into a unique set of 36 cards. Based on the photolanguage principle, this tool uses images to initiate collective reflection. Far from any moralizing approach, the goal is to question and deconstruct stereotypes related to migration together.This kit, intended for teachers and social workers, includes ready-to-use facilitation guides for immediate and effective implementation.

4. Training sessions
Additionally, we offer specific training to support professional teams. These sessions are designed to explore in depth how our tools can be integrated effectively and relevantly into their daily work.
