Migrations, in their various forms, have always been part of Europe’s reality. Nevertheless, contemporary global problems, such as wars, climate changes and globalization, enhanced the basic human need to find a better, safe and peaceful place to live in. European openness is essentially a capacity to accept fellow men, regardless of their origin and existential realities and truths; it is openness to universal, human dimensions of their experience.

The selected works of literature deal with causes of migrations, as well as with inner migrations of individuals who have been discriminated or deprived and pushed to the social margins. They dismantle the image of migrants as generic beings by portraying their individual stories, as well as their identities and their distress caused by assimilation and past traumas. The readers are being addressed by the authors’ multivoiced language and strong sense of social and psychological complexities.

Our project aims at rethinking and bridging our divisions in order to reach mutual understanding. The invisible margins may thus become the centre, an imaginary space enabling a polyphonic discourse of past experiences and real-time perspectives. Heterogeneous mental landscape beneath the polished surface of our societies may be discerned as our most valuable connective tissue.
