I work for a charity organisation that aims at helping newly arrived migrants in the UK. This organisation is part of a local network helping to provide the migrants with basic necessities (food, clothes, personal hygiene items, etc.) as well as healthcare. The network is useful in terms of helping the migrants to find and access necessary services. We arrange for free English language classes in a community setting for those adult migrants who cannot access college. But mainly we aim at creating an environment where the migrants would feel safe and welcome to come and make friends, engage in various activities ranging from board games to few week long courses, join us on visits to local places, etc. We try to help them adjust to the way of life in their new community. This often includes explaining and showing how the systems work in this country (starting from getting a bus ticket to making a hospital appointment or applying for a job), what the social norms and expectations are (e.g. what behaviour  is expected in a school or a workplace), how culture and traditions affect day-to-day life (e.g. what festivals people have in the UK and the way those are celebrated). I could go on and on, but the main message here is that the needs of newly arrived migrants are not limited by learning the language and getting a house to live.

At the moment there is no newly arrived at the Center , but there is diversity and different issues that are link to integration. Also due to the nature of , we could soon be supporting this students as they face the education system.
The initial support is language , basic community awareness. Access to emotional help.
I had had experience of students not being able to access basic needs and need training on many things we take for grants. My approach is always to teach those skills with love and understanding, never assume that because you know they do to.

In my school there are migrants students. Most of them have needs mainly regarding the Italian language and the different habits. The priority is to teach them basic Italian first, during the lessons of the various subjects. The school tries to involve the family and parents are regularly asked to come and talk with teachers. Communication is made possible thanks to interpreters.

When new migrants are presented at school, the most important needs regarding the language and habits. Many kids are not used to going to school, they do not speak Italian, and they are immediately placed in a foreign environment from all points of view. For me, therefore, the first need, the most immediate, regards the need to speak Italian: they need to know at least the main expressions that allow to move independently within the school, and making it possible to begin to communicate with classmates.

The main need of  migrant students at my school is to learn the Italian language better. They usually know some Italian but for some of them it’s not enough to be able to understand lessons where specific vocabulary and language structures  are required.  They have some specific Italian lessons in small groups of migrant students while their classmates have other subjects that would be too difficult for them because of the language. Sometimes they also need psychological support due to family problems derived from the difficulties the parents have to find a proper job or due to living conditions that are not up to their expectations. In this case we can meet their needs because we have a psychologist at school.We don’t have experiences of students with very basic needs such as those outlined by Amber.

I haven't migrant students in my classroom, but I think that they need our work, our skills to  feel  secure in  the  new  educational  environment. The students can talk,can ask a lot of questions getting to know more about environment, traditions, culture, mentalities. The great benefit is returning home with a greater sense of the world and a deeperunderstanding of themselves and their culture and making friends.

I think it is important to get to know each student and a foreigner, refugee or emigrated or otherwise, has the need for more of a psychological and emotional stability of support rather than the acquisition of content. I think they do not want our pity, but want to be understood, accepted and loved to be integrated in the new context. It is important the cooperation between teachers and parents of students and collaboration with the local organization.

The main needs of my newly arriving migrant students are: understand the language, join in with the class group they feel so different from them and basic surviving needs. Not always  the school provides the Italian as L2 course support, the community provides support to basic needs mainly on charity base. My Italian student and the teacher are the source of integration of these students.

# data[].attributes.body
When it comes to newly arrived children, catch-up classes so as to  provide children with experiences which are in their Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) are of vital importance to encourage their learning. Along with that, the creation of  a welcoming environment would be conducive to their smooth transition. However, it's not anly about advancing their academic skills; language, culture and identity are interwoven, therefore reference to and respect towards their home country and native language are deemed more than necessary.

I believe that refugees as well as all children have needs and need our support in matters as education as well as for basic needs. Trauma is also a subject which we
can help them but with the support of a specialist.

Different culture, language, customs, different people and a great trauma.

When we, teachers, think of the newly arrived migrants, usually worry because they don't know the vehicular language in the class, but this handicap is not as important as others. The lack of awareness of the traditions and norms in the new country can be a serious problem for the integration in the new society. But above all, the so horrible experiences they have lived until they have arrived in the new country, everything they have seen and lost in their way and in many cases the lack of a "home" (and I don't mean a "house" but a "home") can evoque negative feelings and psychological disorders.

So, in many cases, they need more psychological support and emotional stability rather than the acquisition of contents. Thus, it is a difficult matter to solve since they don't know our language and in many cases, we don't know the language they speak, so it is quite difficult the communication between us and transmitting good vibes. Moreover, few teachers are developed academically in order to deal with the psychological problems that they suffer from. And even more, sometimes they don't have their basic needs, so it is impossible that they care learning our subjects.

I am sure that if we, teachers and  native students, make the effort to integrate them in our classes, their difficult process of adaptation to the new class and society will be easier, but not simple

# data[].attributes.body
I think that every student needs must be met according to Maslow theory

I don't have refugee students this year because I work at a high school now. But last year I have 3 refugee students and their main needs were clothing, cleaning, food and language. They didn't know our language so at the beginning they had some problems with others. And we as teachers help them buying boots and coats and we did a huge shopping for them. Then their father got a job and later they were happier; because they started to adapt the town and communicate with other people.

# data[].attributes.body
I've now no newly arrived migrant student in my classroom. Anyway I think it's very important to be able to always welcoming new student.
So I think that the first aim a teacher has to bear in mind is that the main needs are not of reading or writing or speaking...but of having a normal and peaceful life. First of all these students need to be better.
A good work with the emotional intelligence is more important than a work about teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Each student has his story and his necessities. For me, an hard challenge are students that haven’t gone to school in their original countries, because they arrive into Italian lower secondary school, but they don't know how to use a pencil or a pen and they can’t read and they lack of school skills.

In my classroom there is a Romanian girl arrived in Italy eight months ago. She is thirteen years old, she speaks Italian quite well for ordinary communications and she is learning new words every day, but she attended only the first year at the primary school when she was six years old, then she didn’t attend any school till September 2016. Obviously she reads and writes like a six years old child, she is not used to engage herself in school activities and to sustain school effort.

This is a hard challenge for me and I need to rethink my teaching practice, because my student can’t do anything without teacher support, but I have to teach to 23 students (Italian students and migrant students arrived in Italy many years ago) and I can’t be near her all the time. I need to teach her not only school subjects, but also school skills and skills for life.

I think that a cooperation network is really important to sustain newly arrived students and I hope to create it with colleagues and students’ parents and local organizations.

It is certainly very important to keep in mind and be able to recognize a situation in which the child and / or his family needed psychosocial support. However, the assumption that every single refugee/migrant child is traumatized and /or deprived can be potential very dangerous. Sometimes a child who is fighting with his classmates does it simply because it is a just ten-year child, not because it's repressed anger caused by his refugee experience. Looking at child only trough the prism of that one part of his identity can also lead to labeling.

# data[].attributes.body
All these needs of newly arrived migrants mentioned in the videos are quite obvious. Imagine ourselves in their place. These people had to deal with their survival. So, school was not a priority. However, what really emegres form their interviews is their feelings; confused, angry, frustrated anxious about settling down and about their future. Of course it is about trauma and it is the most difficult issue that teachers have to deal with. Language is a problem only in the beginning. What about their feeling? They have suffered a lot and suddenly they need to adjust themselves in a new reality. Young people are adjustable but they need support and encouragement by us. They need to gradually feel safe and self-confident,so as to respect and be respected.

I believe the first basic need to be met is safety. Students should feel safe in their new environment. Then they should feel that they are part of a community that cares. Finally they need a positive vision for their future

I had a number of very different migrant students over the years, not all of them newly arrived. I especially remembered one who had many of the characteristics described in the first video: his schooling experience in his own country had been very poor, and his life conditions very basic; he expressed himself in a very physical way, jumping and climbing everywhere. But he was so happy to be at school that it was difficult to convince him to go back home when lessons were over, on the first days he just sat ooutside, waiting for the school doors to open for him again. I don't think we were very successful in helping him develop all his potential, but at least he found a place where he felt safe, and where he liked to come back everyday.

I haven't taught newly arrived migrant students yet, but I consider covering basic needs(home, food, clothes) a priority. Giving them back the hope of living by making them feel secure and valued is the next big step. School, community and individuals should help them stop 'fighting with their fears' or using 'breathing technics' to control anxiety.  All supportive partners should help them familiarise themselves with the new culture without forgeting their own.

Although I do not teach to newly arrived migrants at present, I guess they need a lot of support in many different levels, their psychology, their language, their getting used to new habits and ways of life. The mentality of the people should be such that fosters they integration. The role of schools is very important since they can help or prevent the process of integration from taking place.

Well, my school is a part of a small community that we all know each other so, until now we had never experienced how it is to be with migrant students and that there was no need to form any integration plan. Since we have welcomed our first migrant student last month, we are thinking and discussing how we can make him feel comfortable. It is about a boy 14 years old from Aigypt who can scarcely unerstand French and he can't speak English at all (not to say about Greek!). He doesn't dealing with a trauma nor has he these basic needs that Amber outlined, but of course he needs help. So the most important thing is we, the teachers first of all, to form and discuss with each other an agenda of specific accepted and not accepted behaviours about him in the classroom. The important thing at this point is to be stand together to make the school a safe place for him and help ourselves and the other students to communicate with him properly.

When I worked in America in a refugee school, I realized that they have basic needs beyond reading and writing. They do not know how to get hospital or how to communicate with embassy for paper issues, how to use closets, how to use money and how to get exchange etc. I think before schooling we as teachers should support and help about their daily life needs. The one of the main problem is communication. Most of the parents cannot communicate well like their children and they use their kids as translator. One of my students took his mom to doctor and he told about his moms' pain and problems to doctor. Then he translated to his mom. By the way, he was only 7. When doctor got the results and told him, he got shocked. Because doctor said your mom has a cancer. Can you imagine that how life is harsh to an only seven years old boy?

I contacted the agency that manages the cultural mediators, after someweeks he was supported for 4 hours in total from a cultural mediator who explained how the Italian school function.

Then the school, after a few month,s has enabled the first literacy classes to teach him Italian.

The class teacher team has required the help of a classmate who, knowing the Moldovan could act as an interpreter between us and him

Refugees want to know language, and often they have not any school skills, or the things we usually do to live (use toilet, wash themselves...). Teacher have a difficult work.
You need to teach the necessary skill to be successful at school and in life. Is important to have a community organization.

I believe that the refugees are people with a lot of needs that they need care and protection. The first things have to do with their basic needs (food, water, home). Then, they require phychological support (sense of safety, care and acceptance). Last but not least, their educational needs should be covered by fully-equipped schools and well-trained teachers as much as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
I was really impressed by both experiences. Nevertheless I think school can make the difference if its efforts are coordinated and it can rely on the support of the shelters or families young refugees live within. One of my pupils is a teenager who spent most of his life in a refugee camp before arriving in Italy. He was not used to sitting at a desk or to organizing his school supplies. He used to leave his classroom whenever he was upset. Things have slightly improved, but it is very difficult to make steps forward when families, as in this case, are not helpful. I think the experiences above were successful only because everybody was pursuing the same goal.

It is questionable whether the physiological, safety and love / belonging needs of the newly arrived  migrant students (especially the refugees) are met. As these three needs (according to the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs) are crucial for a human, they must be met as soon as possible.

School can help them in collaboration with different institutions to meet all their needs.

The language support is necessary for the refugees, but it will be more effective when their physiological and safety needs are already met.

I have had experiences of native pupils having very basic needs, and this is very sad especially nowadays.

During the school term 2009-2010 I worked in a junior high school located in a deprived area of Patras, Greece (https://www.google.gr/maps/place/%CE%A0%CE%AC%CF%84%CF%81%CE%B1/@38.2489936,20.6249976,8z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x135e3599a524ed2d:0x400bd2ce2b98ca0!8m2!3d38.2466395!4d21.734574). The theology teacher of that school had organized a support network,  so that the basic needs of the native pupils (food, clothes etc) are met (there were no refugees), which I had never seen before.

I think the needs of refugees are material things that they haven't. Then they need a quiet place in wich ri-elaborate their changements . Feeling of emphaty, comprehension, sense of hospitality. There is also the necessity of some specialized people than colud listen to their stories , write and draw them.

First the needs of the refugees are subsistence. A home to stay, food clothes.
Then there must be a psychological help to alleviate their pain for the war lived in their country.

Meeting the needs of refugee students in schools is a delicate issue. They are fragile kids with different backgrounds who often cannot speak so well the language  used at school. It is important to be patient and welcoming with them and teach them firstly - as the video hightlights- the basic skills for life, give them the practical tools to start a successful path of integration/inclusion  in the community. Teachers and other community organisations should work together, of course.

Schools are struggling to address the diverse linguistic, academic, and socioemotional needs for newly arrived youth who have experienced significant disruption and trauma. School systems will continue to face urgent challenges in building professional capacity to work with newcomer youth. Building teacher capacity is one of the greatest challenges to meeting the needs of newcomer youth. There is a shortage of teachers needed to cover the ever-increasing number of students enrolling in schools, and specifically to instruct students with learning gaps due to interrupted education and who need support to learn the language of instruction.

Having worked with young refugees for a couple of months, I strongly believe that our first aim has to be about fulfilling their basic needs, safety, accommodation, food, hygience. Many of the children I worked with didn't know how to brush their teeth, cut their nails or comb their hair. Under these circumstances, you practice these things in front of them, you are a pattern for them an you teach them abilities. Only when the basic abilities have been conquered you can go ahead, teaching the language or maths.

What is obvious from young refugees' experiences is that they need to feel safe and overcome the feelings of pain and anger they had lived through.Once they feel safe,they start dreaming their future and that is what makes their teachers happy.

I think newly arrived migrant students are so fragile that we really need to make them feel that they are safe and sound, they need to adopt new life and they need to survive, fight for the difficulties of life, they need to be strong. We need to make them feel comfortable, psychologically, we need to share their psyhological situation. They attend some cultural events, some sportive events at first so that they can communicate with each other, they feel happy, they feel the hope for living, at first, these kinds of events are so useful and effective for these students to calm down, feel much more better, start to determining new goals, new dreams in life!

In the last years as a teacher I met students with very different needs: sometimes they had language issues, sometimes economic issues and the difficulty to buy clothes, shoes, books. Sometimes they were in Italy alone, without their family and they lived in communities for underage people.
So they had a large amount of cultural, economic and emotional needs.
Unfortunately in our schools we do not always have programs like the ones described in the second video. We have tried to help our students as we could, but it's not enough, we need to have structural programs in every school, with the help of a psychologist and maybe to build a strong net with cultural associations, sports associations.

I've never had experience with refugees. I thought that the only problem was in learning the new language and in adapting to our western society. I 've never tought that there could be children or teenagers that didn't know the basic skills of life like brushing teeth and using the toilet. Amber's report really opened my eyes. School is not only the place in which we must teach school subjects but it is also the place in which we must deal with basic life skills and with the students' needs

I work everyday with migrant - often not accompanied - minors. Yes, they need much more than our school can give, in terms of psicological help and L2 courses. But, we are trying to put all actors of society together. It's a very hard job, and we fail often. The most horrible is when children escape from their new "house". Its a trauma for everybody. But in some cases we succed, see them grow year after year.
Schools need qualified personel to deal with those situation: but the experience with NAM its usefull also for local students! every child is different! every situation can be traumatic.

We have a variety of students coming from different cultural background, speaking different languages. In my case, the language support is one of the main needs. However, I believe that dealing with refugee children , Language is just one of other important aspects to overcome, since they surely need to be supported on an emotional level and basic life needs.

Most of my students' basic needs are met at the places where they live. However, parents often come to school for support and some needs for clothes , food or advice are met by volunteer associations out of school, volunteer teachers and the parents' association. At school we mainly deal with language support and we try to create a welcoming and safe environment  where they feel safe and accepted.

I have some experience with returned emigrant. Perhaps is not the same but they have need for our suport , too.

I think the main needs of foreign students are learning the language and therefore the understanding of subjects studied. I have no experience of students with basic needs or trauma. I think that foreign students should follow the Italian upgrading courses. And that should be placed in classes where you study a language that is foreign for them, but who have studied in school. Wax to communicate the whole class in a foreign language makes everyone feel equal.

School is the first and most important agency for students and expecially for newly arrived migrants. School must answer to their needs, and academical needs ar not the only ones, so school must find answers and people who can help its students. It's fondamental.

Ivana, Italy                        I think the main needs of newly arrived migrants are: to be accepted and integrated, and to learn  the language in order to interact with other people.

The students arriving to a new country first of all need to feel welcomed and helped to overcome all difficulties. The teachers have to be able to make them feel comfortable and at ease, therefore both, the students and the teachers, need to be helped and assisted by psycologists and other specialists.
