About the project

https://migrationppf.wixsite.com/project

This project therefore brings together 5 schools (with about15-25 students per class, aged 15-18) from the UK, Spain, Italy, Germany and Turkey, to enable students to learn about migration in their communities and across Europe including its history and present day, whilst promoting social cohesion, inclusion and diversity. Students will also learn about migration policy and political debates, to help them to envision what migration could look like in their countries and in Europe in the future.

1st mobility was on January 2020. The activities are being organized on digital program. Another online mobility will be realized on 15 June 2021.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Students

• will learn more about migration and cultural heritage in partner countries.
• get an insight into European culture and identity, including the similarities and differences
• can breakdown prejudices about migrants and refugees
• can develop a political perspective of migration.

The final result is to be published on Twinspace and via presentations and exhibitions at the five partner schools. Whether we will creat a public Twinspace or even a website/homepage is still being discussed by the 5 partner schools taking part in the Erasmus Plus project.
