Yes, this video and the ideas inside is very inspiring.I am thinking of starting simple project to involve refugees in community and I am going to implement some of the ideas in this video .I liked that every goal used discussions and students confessions and I liked talking to children about any violence from  neighbours..and improving neighborhood relations.Using physical activities ,community service,events outside classroom ,inviting someone to talk  are good actions.Sports ,video making and relations with community are inspiring .I am going to present the ideas to the head teachers and colleagues,then putting a plan and a simple short programme ..I can suggest making an open day also,that consists traditional costumes,food,clothes and songs from refugees students .

I found this project very interesting because it involves students and the whole community. Engaging students in various activities, such sports, theatre, etc., would help them to have better self-confidence and feel part of community.

I love the communit project RespAct, it involves the pupils, they learn to formulate their vision, to brainstorm, to generate ideas and to take action to come a nice result.
At this stage, I can't see any community projects in my school. We've set up different new courses where we integrate other activities than the typical class activities: blog, sports, museums, cooking classes, etc. Not really a community project, but all these classes are small communities.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved the ideas presented by RespAct. I often involve my students in actions for the local community. We collected money for the Old People's Home run by the Local Council for elderly with no income. It is important for students to develop empathy for groups in need, like refugees and immigrants.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the RespAct community project and I believe that it can be easily adopted in Greek or/and in Swiss schools with some adjustments. In the sports section, the students could present team games (from their native country) and play with their new classmates. In the video-making section, they can talk about similarities and differencies between their native town/ village and their new one. In the community awareness section, they can learn new things about their new neighbourhood through team projects. For example, they can search information about local history in the library/ on the internet and create a collage and present it in class.

I've never take part of this kind of project. I don't think that my school is ready to adopt The RespAct yet. First I can try to speak about this project to my colleagues.

1.5  Community based projects

Community based projects are an excellent idea for the students and the local community where they start living.
It could be easily done also in my school with the right involvement of the people and town administrators.
First of all we could introduce the school structures to the newly arrived children; there thecould could follow sport, art, theatre and music lessons which are good to get them more involved in the new system. After that it could be interesting to start meeting the local area with visits of museums, libraries, parks, etc . There they can have an active role learning by doing. Once the students have accumulated a little experience of the new place around them, they can also start thinking about the places they are from, studying them, comparing the different realities and start this new experience of life as citizens of the world.

I like the RespAct project  because it is very interesting and inclusive. And I really like the project described by the Dr Raimo Salo, Finland.

# data[].attributes.body
I belong to a religious community that organizes itself whenever necessary to help people who will live to my locality, should any refugee arise, it will certainly be welcomed.

I've never had this type of experience, but is very interesting. Usually, in classroom, I organized group and collaborate activity with the aim to assure Integration.

# data[].attributes.body
In the city of Oulu, Finland, we had a Project for 3,5 years during 2008-2011 where we had all nine Preparatory Instruction groups involved. All groups spent together one day in a month together in a learning environment outside their school. They visited places such as Science Centre, Museums, Zoo etc. Students created animations and videos from the places visited. One of the main objectives was to use Finnish language in authentic language learning environments. My PhD research was made of this Project and I am happy to share more about this if you are interested.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the idea of creating a different model of school, where people can have an active role in the integration process.

# data[].attributes.body
RespAct is an excellent project that engages children in collaborative activities and enhances their confidence promotes their sense of belonging to a community. In my area, Almería, in Andalusia, I think we could develop a similar project, engaging parents from the different migrant communities. An example would be a social event, like a barbecue on the beach with dishes from all over the world or a show by the sea with music and dance from different countries. Then students could collaborate to make video films or presentations about the events and even show them to the local authorities to promote our town in the region and attract tourism.

# data[].attributes.body
The RespAct project is very well structured in order to deal with many important social topics, so that I think that in my school it could be adapted and divided in smaller parts, for example one for each school year. In this way, pupils will continue to deal with social issues for the whole period of lower secondary school.

RespAct is a wonderful project. His name says perfectly what and how to understand it with integration.
I hope to use it soon

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion RespAct is a very interesting Project, with lots of ideas to promote integration. I could adopt some of them in my school.

# data[].attributes.body
RespAct is very interesting. In my school the PE colleague organized a similar project. All students cooperated with the same and common interest. This project involved migrants and their parents too. It was funny and inclusive. It helps development of many emotional skills. Now we have been working since two months to program new projects. One of these deals with food in different cultures.

Fantastic project, full, not simple to realize. In my school try to organize some similar activity but sometimes is difficult share time, Subjects, programme. I'll visite the web site with very interesting

I think it is a very interesting video, RespAct gives some useful ideas to integrate newly arrived migrantes. in my town organized some morning when population, specially students and relatives, put in place cleaning or landscaping projects for locations or city's schools.

# data[].attributes.body
I could easily adopt the RespAct project ideas at my school, so I'm going to jot down some notes:
- use sports to promote trust among students
- videomaking  to practice presenting and develop communication skills
- focus on community awareness and have the students come up with concrete ideas on how to improve things within the community. You can d'oro this through role play, for example the "Mayor game".

# data[].attributes.body
RespecAct  video is very interesting. All the subjects carried out are usefull and help migrants to be integrated in the new community and to interact with other people.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you have any ideas for your own community development project, inspired by Jana’s video? Could you easily adopt the RespAct project ideas at your school?
The RespAct project is quite interesting because through practical activities helps normal and refugee students in socializing, experimenting local enviroment and developing social and some learning skills.
Here probably we could have many problems finding sponsor and some external resources which could support activities like this. Also because one of the main problem of Italian school is bureaucracy.

# data[].attributes.body
Both the video are very interesting. The idea discussed in the video are really important as all them increase student awareness and experience of the place they are going to live.
They promote cooperation and between peers that is a very revelant aspect to foster integration.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is an interesting idea

# data[].attributes.body
Very interesting and helpful ideas that can implement from all students.

# data[].attributes.body
Jana's RespAct project is really interesting. Excellent integration system for migrants using spaces other than the class. Not always, however, you can take advantage of different spaces.My school has been discussing implementing an integration plan for new arrivals, but has not yet decided anything.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the ideas suggested by Jana and I think I could easily adopt the RespAct project ideas at my school integrating newly arrived children as well. What could be a possible project to develop? Well, my school is nearby the seaside, so we could organize a seaside cleaning while developing an environmental project integrating the local authorities and also HELMEPA jounior, a related organization.

# data[].attributes.body
I think sport is a great starting point for creating community projects. Even the use of video-making programs to make a presentation is a great idea!

# data[].attributes.body
In my school a healty life style and sport are strongly promoted. I can see there a good opportunity to start a communuty-based project. I also believe that this kind of activity can make children, who talk another language, feeling comfortable.

Integration is a complex concept that has grown over the last few years. By incorporating concepts such as assimilation and acculturation. Integration basically means building transnational spaces that unite departing and arriving communities and migrants themselves but without privileging one of these segments. Many times these words are confused, we do not want and do not become right means and times for integration. We return to the early twentieth century where millions of European migrants went looking for a future using at least two generations to integrate. The solution passes through a common world called school, where everyone is confronted and measured.

Children's ideas are always the excuse to engage creatively. Young children love the environment and could be activated to plant along flowers in a park outside the school with their parents. This action would make them feel that they can interfere in one place and feel their own.

# data[].attributes.body
Without a good idea engaging the enviroment outside the school, I think that it' really hard to integrate newly arrived migrants in the community where They live and study. I find specially inspiring the presentations idea by a videomaking lab. It's a creative work and ìt could start by visiting Museo Galata, where a whole section is dedicated to migrations and videoclip story telling about them.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea to involve immigrant children in activities out of the classroom is really appealing as it does not constitute a means of pressure for self-integration in a foreign country. When engaged in outdoor activities children will feel more free and connected to native students. Applying RespAct project ideas are definitely useful and in case refugee children come to our school, those ideas will be among my suggestions as a teacher

# data[].attributes.body
Jana's video is very interesting and the RespAct project is a very good example of taking action to promote inclusion of newly arrived immigrants. Well, the ideas discussed in the video are really important as all of them increase students awareness and experience of the place they are going to live. Besides, they promote cooperation and between peers that is another very relevant aspect to foster integration. Watching the video I had an idea about a possible project in my school. At the moment we are working on recycling as a topic for the vertical curriculum. I think it could be implemented with a community-based project. I will better reflect upon this! It could turn up into something very useful for the whole community!

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the RespAct project and being honest some of the ideas presented are not new to me. Because I used to be scout, similar projects are applied by scouts. For instance planting trees in burnt areas is a good way to protect the environment and raise the community awareness. Through this practice students will cooperate and come close together by working for the common good.
Visiting a refugee family would be the best way to familiarise native students with cultural differences by cultivating their empathy. On the other hand it would be good for the refugee children ,too because they can share their experiences.This project can be more successful if teachers come in contact with specific organisations, like METAdrasi, the project React in Thessaloniki, which specialised in such issues in order to inform students about their work and encourage them to participate. In this way refugee children will realise that they are not alone in a foreign country but there sre people with values who care about them. Also teachers can invite refugees into the class to share their experiences with students , engaging their families, too. Also visiting a native restaurant would be an educational project.

# data[].attributes.body
The ideas are many, the problem is to be able to realize them within a still slightly sclerotized school reality. For example, make illustrated books devoted to the world of cooking in the various countries of origin of students in a class who also includes young immigrants. Or books devoted to proverbs around the world, religions but told by kids, popular dances, traditions ... These are accomplishments that could involve parents, brokers, neighborhood communities. Each of these projects could be organized in laboratory mode, perhaps in extracurricular hours, in spaces provided by the same school.

# data[].attributes.body
There are big and small community projects. In our reality it is not so easy to involve local authorities in the project but we are not so bad at finding sponsors. So we try to perform such projects which can be helped by the donors like for example printing house owners who can cover the expanses of the book created by both native and migrant students for whoever wants to use it for educational purposes.

The book was published, printed and distributed to all local schools to provide the material and trigger point for discussion about refugee problems

Some years ago, my school organized a project. In it, pupils prepared some artefacts, with the help of teachers and the parents organization, they sold them at holydays times, and we used the money raised to build a female school in Pakistan (a lot of our students come from there...). We are now planning a project to win (we hope) some ministerial funds to organize sport, cooking, English, theather practical activities to integrate all the children, and also a project aimed to rediscover the history of the center of my village (nowadays mainly inahabited by migrants...) - using even TIC in the convinction that it could help foreign students to feel more aware of their new home and discover some similarities between this one and their original one, and help native students to raise their awareness of our village, which can make them surer of their personality and, so, less afraid of meeting people with a different background. This is part of a community education approch in which we believe. There is also another project, called "Fratelli X sport", initially intended to integrate disabled people using sport but, now, aimed even at foreign students...

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to do a lesson about the history of the countries of origin and those of immigration, about their traditions and their differences.

I liked the idea of respAct project. It could fit in the greek educational system with some adjustment. The opening in society, with organized activities, could be very helpful. In my opinion this should start from activities that would give the opportunity to know each other. Then we can organize cooperative activities that woyld increace the feeling of belonging to a group.

# data[].attributes.body
Respact is very interesting. But I think that is essential to reflect about the word integration. What is the integration? The possibility of being accepted with their differences of culture, religion, customs or renunciation of all this to suit the community that welcomes us?

# data[].attributes.body
I like the RespAct project. It has many elements of Environmental Education, it is Environmental Educaiton and I currently work in this field.
The Environmental Education Center of Vamos in Crete wher I work could easily adopt the RespAct project ideas.
We could also organize Seminars and workshops for teachers, as we expect in a few days the arrival of refugee children in our Prefecture and in the major cities of Crete island. The children and their families will leave at last the camps and will be hosted in appartments .and houses in our major cities of the island with the help of UNCHR and we want them to attend schools of their neighbourhoods, classes of their age with language support.
So, we must support teachers also with ideas and specia education.

I found the RespeAct project really interesting and motivating for newly arrived migrants students in the classrooms. We have something like that in our school as we participate with the local community in a project called 'Migrantes liberi' which helps newcomers to face a  new reality  in a new country, they are given every kind of support from food, hosting service to clothes and first of all education , we strive to make them aware of the possibilities and chances they can get inside the school and in the outside world. They can choose different courses like foreign languages or cooking skills, or simply sports, this will make them feel more than welcome in the community making it easier for them to know new friends among local people. It's such a profitable experience for both the migrants and the local people who learn how to be respectful of other individuals getting a better understanding of others lives around the world.

Our School does a project every year to collect money for a school in the Philippines.All of the students must participate.  The students learn about the school and family life in this area of the Philippines. The students make posters to advertise the march to collect money for the school in the Philippines and go out in their neighborhoods to collect money for the cause.

The lessons at this time are about empathy, respect and the responsibility of helping those who are not as well off as we are. This is quite difficult because many of  our students come from families which are dependent upon help from social services. It is mandatory that the situations for migration are discussed in all classes at this time. This is an important topic used yearly to remind all students why we should respect all students at our school and especially why we should offer help for those who need help .Awareness for the difficulties in other countries should arise through these activities.

The respAct project is great!!! A project to let them do sport, video making in order to express themselves without shame nor fear but free to expose their own ideas and feelings. This sharing can accelerate their integration with the local community.

I think it's a wonderful project... To integrate newly arrived migrant pupils my school has organized a project where all the students can express themselves through sport, music and dance. For example one of the activities they are involved in is the "cup dance" : They move plastic glasses on the floor very fast(they all do the same movements) making a wonderful musical rhythm

My project idea starts from the emotions that each of us lives during the events of our lives and then affect our inner being. But emotions are the same for everyone, that is sadness joy, fear ... then start from emotions and express emotions to know us, let us know, tell ourselves, learn.
