TOGETHER: EQUAL IN DIGNITY AND RIGHTS

"Together: equal in dignity and rights" is a two year project (September 2018- August 2020) focused on migration issue and global refugees emergency. It involves three High Schools ( IIS Tartaglia, Olivieri, Brescia, Italy; Lycéè Des Metiers Du Tourisme Cordouan, Royan, France; Geniko Lykeio, Moudrou Limnos, Greece) based in three different social contexts: the first one on the west French Atlantic coast, faraway from the immigration emercency, the second one in Northen Italy, where there is a high percentage of foreign workers and students, the third one in the forefront, in the centre of the Egean Sea. Thanks to a two year extracurricular course students (aged 15-19 years) will examine in depth the identity/diversity topic, focusing first on the National and then on the European and Global situation. By sharing on the Twinspace their works and meeting face to face during mobilities students (at least 16 for each Country) will experience the difficulties and the attractiveness of meeting people with different cultures. Through meeting experts and volunteers from NGOs that fight against intolerance and discrimination, students will find inspiration and courage to become responsible and socially active citizens, able to affect the responsables of human rights violations both inside and outside the school.

Through workshops, role playing and group work students will feel protagonists of the educational

activity, and they will feel ingaged both on the rational and the emotional level.

The students involved in the three schools will have to:

- get aware about their and others' rights

- identify the causes of violations of rights (in particular migrants rights) and deal with them

- think about concrete actions in order to prevent violation of human rights at school

- support fight against discimination and promote equality

- improve their citizenship skills and ability to take part to democratic national and European decision making process

- improve English skills

- understand how European identity is based on the principles stated by the Charter of Fundamental

Rights of the European Union.

With the help of teachers, experts and local Associations committed in the field of social inclusion,

students will do concrete actions to promote tolerance on a local level and they will help other

students and citizens to understand that all the cultures in the world have a value .

All the project activities and products will be illustrated in multimedia language and will be published in the project web site allowing other teachers to be inspired, to renew their teaching methods and to share our effort to build a peacefull and inclusive society.
