Identibuzz promotes awareness of the reality of foreign groups and aims to de-stigmatize the visions and stereotypes about them in the local citizenry. The project Identibuzz shared stories about the multiple identities to promote knowledge and coexistence, generating a mosaic that reflects diversity. The main objective is to carry out a collaborative and participatory dynamic with groups and individuals from different cultures by bringing together institutions, immigrant associations, neighbors, youth and other social groups with relevance to municipalities, creating a heterogeneous group of participants. The project operates as an excuse to bring together different cultural identities present in municipalities with the aim of creating new social relations of intercultural character.

Participatory dynamic with people from different cultures, both locals and foreigners. It will benefit the general public, it is trans-generational. Over 5,000 people receive information through the project’s website and media. Particularly in the municipality in which the project is carried out.

High representation of people from different backgrounds present in the territories. Positive reviews of the experience. They claim it serves to get to know and understand other cultures and realities. They value learning to build audiovisual and digital content and using the proposed creative dynamics. The participants share the generated content with their family and social environment in their country of origin and host countries. This creates networks.

Initial evaluation of the pilot project: Community Impact: implications for action in territories, social, cultural, urban and relationship with other agents. Construction of shared visual narratives: processes of participation, learning, personal interaction and use of technology. Supra-local aperture: transfer capability of the pilot project to other realities and contexts. An evaluation of each project is done with the heads of municipalities. The experience and impact of the action is evaluated. Creates knowledge between people and their realities. One of the difficulties is attracting participant, it needs to improve. Encourage continuity of processes from the main group of participants.
