> Hello, we are an organization working with people in social
> disadvantaged areas in Denmark, Aarhus.
>
> Right now we are working on a project description, which are grounded
> in life stories.
> This assumes that we should publish a book and DVD with life stories
> that are offered to our users. They are people with different ethnic
> background than Danish as often have identity crises and can not
> optimally locate their position in society. This is due to life
> crises, due to migration and society's sometimes negative perception
> of them.
>
> Therefore, we try with this project to give our users a sense of
> achievement and our objectives are:
>
> - To reduce the Danish population's prejudices about immigrants and
> build understanding
> - To improve immigrants' self-understanding and identity through the
> life stories
> - To give immigrants a sense of achievement that may affect the family
> and the network positively to inspire others
> - To engage our fellow citizens through acceptance, equality,
> understanding and appreciative approach
>
> But we lack experience from previous studies whether the project can
> have long term positive effects, and if previous projects have
> achieved some of our goals through life stories.
>
> Therefore, we want your professional approach to the above.
> Possibly the knowledge of what this kind of projects creates positive
> change in a society that is polarized.
> and possibly,- what consequences it might have.
>
> Have you experience from previous projects on this topic?
>
> We hope you can help uncover some of our questions by supporting with
> your knowledge.

> Sincerely
