1.6INVESTIGATION ACTIVITY: Now find out more about the legal status, living situations and rights and responsibilities of newly arrived migrants in your locality or region. Are most of them planning to stay or do many have plans to move on to another country in Europe? Have they already applied for asylum? Do they have family or relatives they are trying to reach? How long have they been in the locality, region, or country? Are they allowed to work? Do they get financial support? What are the shelters like? Investigate these questions and note down the answers in your Learning Diary.

My opinion about migration

I think it is very hard to integrate migrants because they are booked upon very  conspicuously  even if  most of  them  leave  their  country  in order to book a better place to live in .

Most of the times ,people judge them without knowing the story of their life . In Romania are hardly funds from essentials things, but escially for refugees .

1.5.INVESTIGATION ACTIVITY: Continue your investigation by finding out about the journeys of some newly arrived migrants in your locality. Via the organisation you identified in the beginning, try to get in touch with some newly arrived migrants to hear their stories in person and to ask them questions about their journeys.

I.O.M. (The International  Organisation  for Migration ) was  founded  in Romania  in 1992  order  to handle the need of the migrants  for information and counseling.

I.O.M.  Romania  developed  programmes  of  national  and  international cooperation in various domains :

- the fight against the traffic with human beings ;

- offering facilities for migrants ;

- providing  help for refugees ;

- helping  the  migrants  that  wantto  to  go  back into their home country and providing help for their reintegration in the native country ;

- helping migrants that are in Romania on a legal basis to integrate ;

- providing medical services to the migrants .

1.4. INVESTIGATION ACTIVITY: As a next step in your investigation, get in contact with the organisation you identified in the previous section and find out more about the backgrounds of newly arrived migrants in your locality. Where do they come from? What are their reasons for leaving? How many children are there? How many women and men? What is the average age? Sometimes you will be able to find out this information through some simple online research but it would be better if you could get in contact directly with the organisation you have identified and talk to someone there who can answer these questions for you.

The  first  refugees that should  have arrived  in  Gorj are 15 people from Syria and Yemen.

The group is made of men ,women and three children.The age of the people  in the group range between seven months and fifty years, according to The General Office for Immigration. The mayor  of  Bumbesti  – Jiu ( Gorj county ) said  that in  his  town  will  function  a  transitory centre  and  that  the  integration  of  the migrants  will  take  place  somewhere  else. The area of the Gorj County cannot offer integration opportunities .The  Romanian  authorities checked these people from  the  point  of  view of security  and  accepted  to  provide  them  temporary hosting , not in Bumbesti – Jiu ( Gorj county ), but in Galati .The  fifteen  people will  begin  the  procedures   for  obtaining  asylum,  in  order  to  get  a  form  of international protection in Romania.

1.1 Getting Started

One of the key points you should take from this course and to relay to your students is highlighted by Nora Brezger of the Refugee Council in Berlin, Germany: don't talk about "the refugees" or "the migrants" but understand and respect the diversity of invidual stories that are part of the people who have been recently arriving in Europe.

Padlet Activity: Getting started

The situation of newly arrived migrants and refugees is a complex topic and it can seem quite daunting to start addressing this topic in the classroom. Which specific aspects of this topic do you feel less confident about? Where do you see your own information gaps? What are your goals for this course?

Module 1.

The situation of newly arrived migrants

Addressing the situation of newly arrived migrants in a classroom can  seem a daunting  task. It’s a politically  charged topic, one  that  draws  strong  reactions from  many people. And it’s a discussion  often  fuelled  by  misinformation  and prejudices that can seem difficult to counter. More importantly, in many cases it is a discussion about our neighbours or even our own students, making it even more complex to navigate.

Consequently, many teachers might think it better to just avoid the topic. This course provides a framework to find out more about  the topic and then  thinking about  how  this  can  be  addressed  in  the  classroom. The  goal  of  the  course  is  to  stimulate  constructive  exchanges  about  this  hugely  important  topic  in classrooms across Europe.This modules´ goal is to provide with  an overview of the  situation  of  newly  arrived  migrants  in Europe, so that teachers feel  more confident  about  the  topic  or  at  least   a  position  to investigate it further. It’s important to be familiarized with local situation and  find local partners who can help bring context and stories of individuals into the discussions with students.

Learning Objectives are:

Understand  the  backgrounds,  journeys,  reasons  for  leaving and current legal and living conditions of newly arrived migrants in Europe ;

Identify  and  get  in   contact  with  an  o  rganisation  or   informal  group working  with newly  arrived migrants in your locality, region, or country;

Investigate  the  background  and  current  situation  of  newly  arrived migrants in your locality, region, or country.
