Who is knocking at my door 2

Description

"The project called ""Who is knocking at my door 2"" is based on close cooperation between schools in Sweden, Italy, Turkey, UK, Belgium and Spain. All countries and schools face the challenge of migration as a daily circumstance and all schools have migrant pupils or pupils out of migrant families. Social inclusion and an increase of tolerance is regarded as an urgent matter and needs to be further and more intensely worked on within all our communities and from a young age.Migration offers many chances and challenges. Little is more extraordinary than the decision to migrate… the accumulation of emotions and thoughts which finally leads a family to say farewell to a community where it has lived for centuries, to abandon old ties and familiar landmarks, and to sail across dark seas to a strange land… Many immigrant have lived through unimaginable drama before and during their journeys.Today, the education system is facing the challenge of dealing with multicultural classes. Therefore schools need methods and tools to educate native pupils to accept newcomers as a resource and not as a problem, and to facilitate the integration of young immigrants starting from early ages overcoming communication and cultural obstacles. Schools should involve the students in a common reflection on how the history of Europe is also the history of immigrants that have been a benefit for the economies of their new countries and how European identity is based on the spreading of rights to all and on the understanding of other cultures. The main aim of this specific project is to promote respect, diversity and the acceptance of ""others"". The project will encourage and teach pupils how to work collaboratively with pupils from other countries in original, innovative ways, to explore the different concepts of civic rights and responsibility with the purpose to learn to uphold the rights and freedoms of individuals and communities and to become aware of a European sense of citizenship and tolerance. And of course, to develop life skills that transcend the remit of the project by engaging in the characteristics that define us. The second aim is re-tracing the history of migratory flows in Europe, exploring the point of view of both those who left a country and also those who saw the arrival of new people from other countries, help European students and teachers understand current immigration related issues better and start a wider reflection on the theme of citizenship and extension of rights. Objectives: ● Develop highly interactive and communicative e-learning contents addressed to Secondary schools which experiment difficulties in dealing with multicultural classes, in order to enhance the capacity of teachers and pupils to view diversity as a resource to learn about different cultures and habits.● How other cultures have left and still leave footprints on our society today, and how this affects our understanding of diversity.● Provide schools with highly interactive and attractive ICT based educational tools to be used in multicultural classes experimenting integration difficulties, to foster dialogue and mutual understanding between pupils with different ethnic backgrounds starting from the knowledge and comprehension of the past experiences of immigrants integration.● Provide European students with a better comprehension of how immigration has been and will therefore be a resource for the European economy.We want to get to know other cultures; not just within Europe, but further afield and to explore the rich history of migration in Europe. That is why pupils will start with working on their countries´ migrant history. ● Each school will research on the history of migration in its home region. ● The status quo of migration in each school´s home region will be examined; types of migrants, reasons for migration, the situation facing migrants. ● To find out whether schoolmates have a migration background, a survey will be done in each school. ● Pupils will interview fellow pupils to find out about their families´ background (action taking/ inquiry based learning). ● Pupils will do documentary work, prepare collages and exhibitions. The results of all the partner schools will be compared at a learning/teaching/training activity. Pupils will learn that not just in their home region migration has taken place and left is cultural traces but all across Europe. ● Then the current legislation on migration within Europe and in the partner schools´ home regions will examined. The situations of legal/illegal immigrants will be examined and contacts to migrants and local authorities and institutions will be established. ● Seminars in the meeting will be put on stage with pupils of the different partner schools standing up for their country´s needs and ideas. ● Pupils functioning as a film team will accompany the project from the very beginning and create a final DVD of the project."
