Migrants in a new country often face discrimination and have difficulty finding acceptance in new communities. In Lyon, we studied how community events and interactive media can be combined to create connections between people and increase the inclusion of newcomers. Through archival research, ethnographies, and semi-structured interviews, we discovered that anti-immigration politics are gaining support in France, but SINGA Lyon represents a community-based response promoting inclusion and building community support for migrants. We also determined useful strategies to improve SINGA’s annual Bazar Festival, enhancing its ability to foster connections and education. We created a digital icebreaker game, a migration quiz, and a feedback form for SINGA to use at the Festival and other events to promote connection and community.
