Summary of the project: This research work is partly based on research through the collection of data on the physical and social characteristics of the local migrant and refugee population. On the other hand, a productive use of tools promoting social cohesion and cultural diversity. The European Union (EU) is currently facing strong migratory flows. There is a need to support refugees in their integration. If EU coordination and state support are needed, the responsibility to create the conditions for integration lies in innovative projects. In a first theoretical framework it would be necessary to define globally, the origins and the reasons for which this population is currently on the Calaisian territory, crossroads towards Great Britain, their eldorado. Subsequently, we could contextualize the difficulties of social integration of this population, the hostility of local populations, victims of their social representations and hosts by default. More specifically, we will study the social determinants of health in the territory, the relationships between precariousness and health, where access to food is sometimes a question of survival. Then would come the joint activities on the sites of the coast and the opal coast. Supervised by university teams, students from various sectors will be asked to talk, exchange, invite migrant and refugee populations to cultural, sports and culinary exchanges. Prevention actions, regular health check-ups will be conducted. The goal is to share, around culinary workshops brewers cultures. To create, a collective urban kitchen garden. To use physical activities as vectors of exchange and socialization. It is a process that generates adoption and adaptation, favors intercultural dialogue and wishes to shake up the current social schema.
