Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Migrants and refugees’ influx into Europe has been steadily rising, and social indicators consistently show a decrease in economic and social protection towards vulnerable populations. Recent research shows that a sense of belonging is central towards integration in a new country. Unfamiliarity with culture contributes to isolating migrants and prevents participatory citizenship. Our objectives are to identify gaps in cultural competence and accessibility to culture in our country, understanding their cross-sectoral consequences – namely regarding the Brazilian community. Our study followed a qualitative methodology (online semi-structured questionnaires) for collecting and analysing data (content analysis) and was conducted in Porto, the second largest Portuguese city. Participants were 38 Brazilian immigrants, contacted through NGOS’s, social associations and institutions during the pandemic. Brazilian collective is a strong consumer of cultural events and resources, having a very strong perception regarding its value and role when it comes to their own paths of integration.
