Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article contributes to the inclusion of the refugee community located in Polykastro (Greece) through an art cooperation project between the University of Seville and the NGO Open Cultural Center. We suggest that art education promotes the full development of the individual and the community. This study examines the identification stage which took place in October 2019. Using a Logical Framework Analysis we explored agents involved, problems, objectives, and alternatives. We conducted interviews, participant observations, and SWOT analyses. The identified problems point to a lack of integration and an intervention strategy for an inclusive improvement is discussed.
