Abstract

This study aim was to focuses on the interaction of cultural and social factors in a multicultural society, with a particular emphasis on the role of art in promoting social integration. Through the analysis of social reality and the study of the socio-structural function of art, this research explores the challenges faced by different cultural groups in adapting to a diverse society. This study focuses on the interaction of cultural and social factors in multicultural societies, with a particular emphasis on the role of art in promoting social integration. By analyzing social reality and the socio-structural function of art, this research explores the challenges faced by different cultural groups, especially refugees, in adapting to a diverse society. The methodology employed in this work involved studying the problems of ethnic mosaic and multicommunitarianism, developing projects for multinational classes, and enhancing interpersonal skills for teachers working with refugees, with the help of a deep literature review from SCOPUS, Google scholar and Research Gate data bases. The results indicate that the formation of different identities within multicultural communities poses challenges to successful integration. The scientific novelty of this study lies in emphasizing the importance of art as a tool for assimilation and integration in a multicultural environment. By providing a platform for self-expression and resilience-building for young refugees, artistic practices play a crucial role in fostering mutual understanding and tolerance among diverse cultural groups. In conclusion, this research underscores the significance of promoting positive changes in multicultural societies through art and highlights the need for continued exploration of strategies that support the integration and coexistence of diverse cultures.
