Some conflicts do not end when the violence stops.They continue quietly — inside families, cities, classrooms, communities, and memory itself. The Erasmus+project Roots & Routes was born from this difficult space: the question of how dialogue can exist in societies marked by fear, polarization, silence, or inherited trauma. Not dialogue as a political slogan, but as something fragile, human, and deeply uncomfortable. How do people begin speaking again after years of division?

At ARTE.M, we contributed by integrating art therapy approaches, particularly in the context of working with refugees, migrants, and people who have experienced displacement.
