Three Initiatives for Enhancing Social Cohesion and Addressing Outsiderness

This paper explores three initiatives aimed at fostering social cohesion and addressing the concept of 'outsiderness.' The first initiative focuses on micro-credit methods to economically empower individuals, while consciously avoiding ethnic biases. The second initiative emphasizes community-based art that raises awareness about ethnicity and shifts perspectives of subordination. Lastly, the association of young immigrants seeks to transform the narratives surrounding suburban areas by challenging existing racial discourses. Together, these initiatives aim to create a more inclusive society.

  2. Micro-credit

  3. Micro-credit “Even if the problem leading to outsiderness is different, the solution to the problem is the same” LS, project leader

  4. Micro-credit • economic definition of “outsiderness” • outsiderness as a fact -> addresses effects • ethnicity consciously avoided • standardization in dealing with “outsiderness”

  5. Community-based art

  6. Community-based art Setareh. I couldn’t live among immigrants only. It would be tough. It wouldn’t work. eb. Why? Setareh. It is such a bad badge. If people asks you ‘where are you from?’ and you answer ‘Rinkeby’ or‘Husby’, then it is ‘Aha! there...’ [with a deceptive tone] They know already who and how you are.

  7. Community-based art • Awareness of ethnicity • Focus on life experiences of subordination • Reversal of perspective (the outsider becomes the insider)

  8. Association of young immigrants

  9. Association of young immigrants • Identifies current discourse on the suburbs as the root for ongoing racism • Aims at changing meanings attached to the categories defined by ethnicity • Focus: wider society
