Education is key to their future.

“A safe space for refugee students is a safe space for everybody,” explains Montero. “It’s not a detriment for anyone else.”

For the integration of newly arrived migrant students and refugees, the teaching of the national language as a foreign language and the provision of mother tongue teachers is indispensable in schools. Then, fundamental is the availability of appropriate psychological, social and educational support to children and young refugees traumatized, the introduction of procedures for the recognition of competences and qualifications obtained in the countries of origin. At school, the really issue is find who can support you in your work with the students.

First, the most important thing to do  is to make the newcomers feel  safe and every teacher must create a welcoming classroom environment. Learning the mother tongue of the new country is crucial for foreign students to study by understanding the content of the subjects and, in general terms, to obtain the language that promotes integration and integration.  Language difficulties are the first places among the reasons for school failure.
Teachers can use these activities for integrating newly arrived migrants:

- Activities of music, singing or dancing. Most pupils like those.

- Sports activities and games.

- To use technologies: for example, seeing their favourite music on YouTube.

- Activities of drawing, painting or colouring.

-  Using vocabulary in their language in classroom activities.
- Planning an international meal (breakfast,lunch or dinner, this is my personal idea, I think that food is a great help for integration, in the silence children communicate with each other.

I never had migrant students in my classroom, but these ideas surely will help me, one a day!!! Thanks so much!

To create a good integration plan we need:

1.      Identifying preparatory steps for yourself and your class to welcome newly arrived migrant students

2.      Being aware of some of the specific needs of newly arrived migrant students and how they can impact your classroom work

3.      Understanding when to look for external support

4.      Developing some specific classroom activities that can support newly arrived migrant students

5.      Identifying strategies and activities to facilitate the language learning of newly arrived migrant students

6.      Understanding the importance of building trust between newly arrived migrant students and your other students and how to foster a community spirit in your class

7.      Develop a development plan with concrete steps to prepare or improve the work in your classroom and at whole school level with newly arrived migrant students

Nora Brezger, of the Berlin Refugee Council, highlights the general principles and ideas that school leaders should especially take into account when integrating new migrant students. She says to find colleagues who also working with refugee children. It is important to build inside and outside of each school network of school colleagues and external partners, allowing regular exchanges. In my school teachers don't receive any support. We find migrants students in our classrooms without being informed in advance about the newly arrived and everything else we have to invent  in order to work with migrant students.

In some schools, the children are taught in separate classes for a certain period of time or certain subjects, in others they are quickly integrated in classes together with the other students. I know that in the school where I'm currently working on, the newly arrived migrant students are included into regular classes. Surely  in my school there will be a person in charge for the  integration of the migrants, but I don't  think it's a person who can also act as an interpreter. That of oral and written communication remains an ongoing issue in most Italian schools. 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.For the integration of newly arrived migrant students and refugees, the teaching of the national language as a foreign language and the provision of mother tongue teachers is indispensable in schools.

I must say that the videos are really interesting and that I absolutely agree with Prof. Dr. Pant. The current situation about migrants is not only an emergency but also an opportunity for schools. . Many people to try to improve their living conditions decide to emigrate, to leave their country, their family, their lives. These people hope to find a job and a better life in rich countries. The  newly arrived migrants fleeing wars, persecutions, leave their homeland because they are suffering from hunger or serious illness or because in their country there isn't freedom. The issue of refugees must be an opportunity to rethink the school in general. The school constantly needs updating. We need to think of a unique and global school. Life has changed and the problems have increased considerably. This is the hard and sad reality.

My experience at school with foreign pupils.

My experience at school with foreign pupils.

# data[].attributes.body
Last year I had a pupil who came from Libya, but he wasn't a refugee. Initially he didn't a  word in Italian, but I was amazed how easily the child learned to speak  the italian language. Even this year I have two foreign children in fifth class. They come from Romania and also they easily learned to speak Italian. I hope that with this course I can learn new integration strategies. I must say that, at least  my area doesn't live the drama of the arrival of new migrants or refugees. Some migrants reach relatives and are hosted in their homes but often others are dropped and this certainly doesn't improve the social life of anyone. But I think that is essential better information to arrive at a sufficient integration. Unfortunately in Italy life has become too hard for many persons and it is not easy to integrate and above all keep in decent conditions refugees, migrants and also italian people.
