The key to our program is the GO-deep game, which supports groups of people in a playful way to go beyond stereotypes, majority/minority dynamics and stimulates a light yet deeper interaction that is focussed on what everybody contributes to society. The process-oriented community tool will gather diverse groups of people on community level in 3 different regions of Europe, hosted by social professionals and citizens that receive a capacitybuilding training. Through the use of game we surpass language-barriers and use joint action to connect more profoundly and to open up to the richness of diversity. Throughout the whole processes we want to research, capture through stories and communicate the answer to: When and how do people experience, that through diversity they win, rather than lose as a society? The following outcomes will be achieved by a multi-stakeholder partnership over 6 countries spread over Europe, with various disciplines and vast experience in working with diverse groups, related with immigration, gender and conflict resolution issues: Kick-off: 30 professionals and activists from 6 countries trained. Regional actions: 500-1000 people directly involved and mobilized, 40% are migrants, 3 concrete projects realized as a result, 6 big diversity community events hosted. Research: Research-report, folder and research-videos presented at final event. 4
Captivating stories: 15 stories captured on video and visual-art portrait format breaking paradigms around diversity, using visual language to appeal to people of all backgrounds. Dissemination: An ongoing campaign on a learning platform and an open website. The outcomes will be spread across Europe in cultural centres with the support of the THEnetwork. Outputs and answers to our key question will be presented in a 2 day-conference 5

More particularly, we intend to improve and make sustainable the communication and interaction between different social groups, and to deepen dialogue between policy makers, stakeholders and citizens in order to promote more efficient management of diversity. Comparing the positive and negative experiences of local citizens with those of local stakeholders, leaders and decision-makers will improve common understandings of diversity at the neighbourhood level. It will also encourage new approaches to existing policies, incentives and tools regarding social integration and sustainable diversity. Activities The project studies four diverse European neighbourhoods: Berlin, Budapest, Manchester and Sassari through three main activities: 1) collecting and curating stories of citizens through Community Reporting (80 citizen stories) 2) collecting and analysing stakeholders views through semi-structured interviews (45 interviews); 3) comparing the results of the two methods and elaborating a series of policy recommendations through participative workshops and consensus meetings. Type and number of persons benefiting from the project 10 trained volunteers/community reporters, 80 citizens, 50 policy stakeholders directly benefiting. 6
Expected results VOICITYS will collect information on local diversity from citizens and stakeholders and outline multilevel policy recommendations. In doing this our consortium intends to develop a new model of citizen participation in local and European policies related to diversity. Type and number of outputs to be produced Deliverables include 4 local and 1 EU Reports on Challenges of Diversity - local and European level (in 4 languages), 4 local and 1 EU reports on policy recommendations, and a Voices of Diversity book and film. 7
