New Arrivals

The project, targeted at young people in the four partner states, stems from the idea of using cartoons drawn by African artists as a means to explore the complex reality of immigration in Europe, in the light of the enlargement of the EU to 27 member states. In this context, the countries involved in the project are Italy and Spain, which represent the two traditional places of arrival, and the new European frontiers Malta and Cyprus. These are at the centre of the many challenges that accompany the process of integration, to which they will have to provide an effective response. The New Arrivals project is financed by the European Commission, Directorate General for Enlargement as part of the APESC programme.
