Integrating Migrants and Refugees at School

How can integration of young migrants and refugees be achieved at school? Which educational concepts and teaching materials have proved to be successful and could serve other schools as an example? This group is primarily intended to be a place of mutual assistance in which school leaders and teachers can share experiences and materials. The group extends its focus to also strengthen teachers supporting refugees and is being re-launched under the name “Integrating migrants and refugees at school”. It will propose and share educational resources and activities for teacher hosting refugees.

Europeana: The European Migration Journey Museum

screenshot

In May-July 2024, thirteen participants took part in the second edition of the Online Creative Residency from Europeana’s Digital Storytelling Festival. Peggy Komvotea created an interactive digital space dedicated to migration.

 

The space is dedicated to the journey of migration. Within this space, Peggy presented photographs and artworks representing migrants to and from Europe throughout a number of migration periods. Also on display are virtual 3D artworks and installations that create a suitable setting for the museum or art space curator to tell the story of migrants. The story focuses on little but meaningful things like the suitcases, the new life the migrants made, or the life that they expected to make but did not.

 

Most of all, The European Migration Journey Museumis a virtual place that helps visitors travel with the migrants on life-changing trips. In the space there is also a separate room where people can upload their own story.
