THE FIRST EXCHANGE

- Encourage students to become aware of migration policies in each country and find out the general attitude of people towards them. How many migrants arrive or try to arrive in each country? How are they received in the various countries? What is the policy at European level? How is this issue treated in the media (both traditional and social)?

- Make our students think about the fundamental difference between a refugee and an immigrant, also with the help of NGO operators and volunteers of charitable organisations. In order to get an answer they could reflect upon the variety of reasons that made them leave their countries. And what about the difficulties and risks they had to face during their journeys? Some of the reasons our students can come up with could be: having more rights, accessing better healthcare, giving children a higher-quality education, taking advantage of better employment opportunities, getting closer to family, ...

- Find out information about the routes that refugees have to follow nowadays since the moment they leave their countries until the moment they reach their final destination. Each partner school will analyse the most common journeys refugees are following to arrive in its country. Students will find out this information talking to responsible people in town halls or, if they have the opportunity, asking refugees in their areas directly. They will prepare questions to ask refugees about the main risks and difficulties during the journey and investigate about the number of refugees in the area.

- Find out the number of immigrants in their neighbourhoods and how many immigrant students attend their school. Prepare questions to ask them about their main difficulties to adapt to a new culture, new school, make new friends, etc.

- Each partner school will organize all this information in charts, posters and recordings as later they will share and compare this information with the rest of the schools during a short- term exchange. Each partner school will present their research and after this they will work in mixed-international groups to produce a common project that includes all their findings and conclusions (a virtual map showing the different journeys taken by the interviewed immigrants and refugees – or the radio programme/podcast during the exchange in Germany, inviting local media and politicians).

THE THIRD EXCHANGE

Investigate in each context well known peace heroes chosen by the students (e.g Nobel Peace Prize Laureates like Malala Yousafzai or other great figures like Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, etc.). Students will reflect on the fact that inclusion and openness imply a peace attitude and an inner journey of change, which is what characterised all the important figures examined.

Exchange information and work together collaboratively and cooperatively in mixed- nationality groups during the third short-term exchange, to organise multimedial presentations using Prezi, padlet, or other open-source digital means.
