I was impressed by the Pillars of Identity idea. Students will be able to feel empathetic towards newly arrived migrants once they realise that all components of one's personality are vital and perhaphs reassess their own values!

It is a fact that social media could put someone on the spot and often raise xenophobic issues. Students should be guided to use the media efficiently and be aware that opinions often change (hopefully for the better) but certain comments are always there for the world to see. Scripta manent.

that I used the very same video last year in our eTwinning project on migration! It is reallly helpful!

I often conduct ewinning projects wiht my classs. Last year we did one on migration and I think it helped my students a lot to understand what drives some people to behave the way they do. I believe it is important have all opinions respected but make it clear that violence is never the answer.

How do you discuss a major terrorist action in the classroom?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
You hear the news about a major terrorist attack. After your first personal shock you think as a teacher: "How do I discuss this in class? '. This happened Marinka Mulder and Erik van de Woestijne, teachers at Wellant college Houten after the bombings in Paris on November 13, 2015.
Before starting the lessons the teachers had a team meeting on how to create a safe environment for conversation in the classroom after attacks with many victims in Paris.

Marinka tells in the video how she designed her own lessons and Erik tells about what he has been given as guidance in the team meeting.

Nora's description of the reasons why people are forced to leave is more than helpful. (war. insecrutiy, conflicts, poverty etc). Most people do come from war zones.

I always try to explain to my students the difference between migrants and refugees. I do believe that the term newly arrived migrants is very appropriate as it doesn't give away any personal info at this stage

Raising awareness strategies and activities

In my country there has been a long traditon of kids from other arriving from other countries attending schools, however, it has not been very common for newly  arrived migrants to do so. I believe that the best way to help these students would be for all the teachers to co-operate with the Municipality of the area as well as other formal institutions. We should get all the help we can for those in need!

Hello from Greece
Laskarina Polemi
Hello, fellow students. I have been teaching English for about twenty five years. For the past 5 years I have been teaching in a Secondary Senior High school in Greece (in the area of Kaisariani). The reason I am taking this course is to try and make the best of culturally diverse communities. I hope I will be able not only to handle potential probles should they arise in my classes, but also to make the best of diversity and help my students do the same.
