European Union Horizon 2020 programme has funded Research and Innovation projects over 7 years (2014 to 2020). This fund has promoted user centric co-creative projects such as REBUILD, TRACTION, and SO-CLOSE. REBUILD project is an ICT-enabled integration facilitator and life rebuilding guidance, TRACTION project is an opera co-creation for a social transformation, and SO-CLOSE aims at enhancing social cohesion through sharing the cultural heritage of forced migrations. These three projects have in common that they facilitate migrants integration through different user centric design strategies. This paper will 1) describe how these projects fit within H2020 strategy, 2) analyse in detail how these H2020 projects approach user centric design, 3) detail the use of artistic tools at the three projects, and 4) conclude with key common findings.
