Project Summary

Our project being a hot topic in most European states, we wanted a diversity of partners scattered on our continent. The various contacts established made it possible to bring together nine partners who know or have known about migration and their problems. Our objectives are multiple, but all aim to allow a rapid and successful integration of migrants through the removal of social, economic, linguistic, religious barriers; the relationship between the school and the migrant families; the intercultural understanding through contacts, meetings, exchanges; help to permit them to understand and speak the local language. . To achieve concrete results among project stakeholders, it is essential that they know each other. To do this, at first, the actors-students and teachers will get acquainted through the “Detective Game” then we will link knowledge with migrant families via contacts, interviews, a questionnaire for which we will help themand whose answers will be a starting point for collective reflections. . Once contacts are made with the school, meetings with various themes such as “a breakfast from home” “our clothes” “our way of life” will constitute “the red thread” of the duration of the project. During these exchanges, teachers, students and migrant families will meet, but also the indigenous families who will be invited to these meetings. We will work on the various forms of migration and show them that understanding and combating the effects of migration means understanding and combating racism and xenophobia. We will show our students and interlocutors the errors of racism and the dangers of culturalism. Through the activities planned, we will demonstrate to our students the global nature of the migration problem with, in particular, origins of migration, their causes, the types of migrants, migration in my country, immigration in my country, migration from my country, migration through the history, migration of fishes, of marine animals, of mammals, of invertebrates and reptiles, of plants. Through the various activities on offer, students will understand the multiple causes of migration: accidental causes, sources of wealth, the need to find new fertile lands, conflicts, weather disasters, climatic reasons, desertifications in particular. A series of works will be imposed on all partners, others will be selected from a proposed range. Once per school year, groups of students will meet with a theme to be used during their meeting.
Thus, they will have to prepare their meeting of the first year with two works to present, the second year will be intended for the theater and the third on the writing of the books. In the first year of the project, two books translated into English will be studied by all partners.
After each planned activity in the agenda, each partner institution will write a model report and illustrate it with photos for the website. These reports will be exchanged among all the partners who will have to read them and discuss them. They will be the subject of a work point during student meetings. During years two and three of the project, two books will be written and illustrated by the students. The second year, a book will tell the story of the family of a migrant student. The third year will be dedicated to the writing of an imaginary book telling the migratory adventure of a student to a destination to be defined. The writing of this book will be done in groups responsible for a chapter. These two books will be illustrated by students or inserted photos.
Both books will be written in the language of the country and translated into English. The ensemble will form an essential work for the dissemination of the results of our project. We will try to interest certain associations related to the migration problem such as Unicef, the Red Cross, Amnesty or any other NGO willing to help us with our stories. To be complete and justify the title of our project, we will show our students that migration is certainly a human problem, but that it also concerns mammals, birds, insects, invertebrates, reptiles, plants and even animals. our planet itself. We want our students to understand that through the proposed activities that causes are multiple, have evolved over time and technological discoveries, that they have been the source of many advances around the world.
Finally, a second “red line” will consist of a collective help to migrants with language difficulties because speaking the local language is an essential element for a good and rapid integration.
