ArtEMi Toolkit is one of the ArtEMI Project final products. This Toolkit is a guiding tool for educational activities based on art therapy for social inclusion through artistic-craft approaches, autobiographical narrative techniques and digital storytelling to support migrant women in self-awareness and planning for emancipation, in presence and distance.

The kit, based on dedicated experimental laboratories, describes the preparation of activities and necessary materials, offers models for the evaluation and self-evaluation of the activities carried out and the results achieved and photo/video documentation of the laboratories, to facilitate the operational use of the tool and the replicability of the proposed activities.

ArtEMi Occupability Guidelines

The PR2, ArtEMi Occupability Guidelines, constitutes a handbook mainly targeted at professionals, organisations and institutions involved in social work with migrant and resident women for supporting the employability of migrant women, describing and explaining several activities aimed at highlighting personal competencies and skills, improving soft, language and digital skills, initiating self-entrepreneurship projects and orienting to vocational studies and training. It includes guidelines for the employability of migrant women with activities aimed at bringing out personal skills and abilities, improving transversal, linguistic and digital skills, starting self-entrepreneurship projects, and orienting them towards study and professional training.

ArtEMi Psychological Support Practices

Artemi Psychological Support Practices is one of the outputs of the ArtEMi project. This publication aims to address some very important issues:

• the role of psychological support for migrant women, given the strong presence of traumatic experiences in their life stories, linked both to the conditions that led them to migrate, as well as to the migration path itself, as well as to the condition of women, both in the countries of origin and in the culture of arrival;
• the importance of support between women, which has always been one of the ways in which women have been able to resist difficulties, and find the energy for new life projects;
• the importance of finding forms and practices to give life to psychological support activities for migrant women, both in terms of resources and methodologies.

ArtEMi Ricordi e Ricette dal Mondo

DUN presents in a digital book the various recipes proposed by each participant, described through the history and the familiar memory, linked to which food. Enriched with photo-portraits of laboratory students and food images.

Publishing the different traditional recipes and the different personal stories in a single book has allowed us to share the bond with the land of origin but also to activate a process of coexistence and knowledge with new cultures at a deeper level. True human enrichment lies in comparison and openness towards what is different from us. Through the intertwining of the different stories and the different flavors, a new identity is created, where the old and the new coexist, redefining the Self.

Video tutorials

During the ARTEMI training activity for trainers and facilitators, which took place in Rome in October 2023, the team of Storie di Mondi Possibili, recorded and filmed the implementation of three of the presented practices that combine art and empowerment.

The videos are available through the StoryAp website, as well as through Youtube.
