Migration processes have been taking place in Europe for some time, all of which have influenced us in some way. Related to the German past, migration processes took place in the time after the Second World War, which originated in the environment of the world war. Over the next few decades, there have been a significant number of migrant workers who have greatly changed Germany socially and culturally. In a pan-European context, especially in the case of labor migration, there were links between all three partner countries Germany, Greece and Italy. In this project, following the context of the subject, questions are to be considered that deal with the possibilities and consequences of migration movements for European societies. In different dimensions (at that time, today and in the future) and from the national perspectives these migratory movements are to be examined. The social, political and economic aspects of European coexistence should be addressed. In concrete terms, from a sociological perspective z. B. the reception conditions and integration options and also cultural influences for instance music, language and food culture are illuminated. Politically, legal conditions and impacts have to be taken into account, while in the economic field opportunities for the integration of migrants into the world of work, as well as the resulting costs, should be examined. The participants of the project should train and extend various competencies. The SuS should acquire and deepen their knowledge of migration contexts in the specialist field. Here, the three dimensions make comparison possibilities clear, which are also highlighted by the different national perspectives and certainly treated controversially. The capacity for empathy for the growing together of Europe is strengthened by the understanding of others, which is being trained. The thematic work on a common, European topic stimulates the debate on the European idea, positively sustains it positively, and makes it possible to experience others' understanding through intercultural contact. With the help of an exchange on the different, national perspectives of the present, the common European migration history should be better understood in retrospect. The connection between the objectives and the priority "Social and educational value of European cultural heritage" is recognized in the pan-European context, which illustrates historical and current experiences with migration issues. The effects on our present national European societies will be discussed discursively and opportunities and problems will be discussed. In addition, the aspect of integration will be examined in the sense of the priority of "social inclusion". The SuS as well as the participating teachers promote skills in the fields of media, communication, empathy, organization and foreign language. SuS and teachers from the schools participating in the project (Gymnasium Bad Essen / Germany, Liceo Classico Scientifico Ariosto Spallanzani / Italy, GELDE Sapon / Greece) participate in the transnational project meetings, ie about 13 students per school and two teachers. There are one pre- and one follow-up meeting of teachers and three meetings, each in a different host country, the student groups. The project consists of three transnational meetings with each school. In the first phase, the S & T work first in individual schools and then transnationally in one of the three participating countries ("then"). The second phase, which is the same in organizational terms, includes the impact on today's European citizens and also on the students as an individual ("today"). In the third phase, a glimpse into the future of Europe daring to deal with migration issues ("in the future"). The foreign language competence and the reduction of stereotypes are sustainably supported. Empathy for European integration will be strengthened. The understanding of others for different perspectives can only be experienced in direct, intercultural contact with other European nations. The thematic work on a common theme stimulates and sustains the debate on European thought. With the help of an exchange on the different, national perspectives of the present, the common situation in the field of migration issues should be better understood. Transnational work contributes to the perception of Europe as a unity in diversity.
Migration processes have been taking place within Europe for some time and we have all been influenced in some way. In relation to the German past, migration processes took place in the period after the Second World War, which originated in the context of the World War. In the next few decades there was a significant number of migrant workers who changed Germany socially and culturally to a great extent. In the pan-European context, there were links between all three partner countries, Germany, Greece and Italy, particularly in the case of labor migration. In this project, linked to the subject context, questions were examined that deal with the possibilities and also the consequences of migration movements for European societies. These migratory movements have been examined in different dimensions (then, now and in the future) and from the respective national perspectives. The social, political and economic aspects for European coexistence were discussed. Specifically, from a sociological perspective, e.g. the admission conditions and integration possibilities, but also cultural influences in the form of music, language and food culture illuminated. Politically, legal conditions and effects have also been taken into account, while in the economic area the chances of integrating migrants into the world of work, as well as the resulting costs, have been examined. The participants in the project trained and expanded various skills. The pupils acquired and deepened their knowledge of the context of migration in the subject area. The three dimensions made comparative possibilities clear, which were also highlighted by the different national perspectives and were also treated controversially. The connection between the goals and the priority "Social and educational value of the European cultural heritage" was made clear in the pan-European context, which illustrates historical and current experiences with the migration issue, and empathy for Europe was strengthened. Effects on our national European societies today were discussed in a discourse and opportunities and problems discussed. In the process, the aspect of integration was highlighted in line with the priority "social inclusion" and understanding of others was made tangible. With this project, the pupils and the teachers involved promoted skills in the areas of media, communication, empathy, interculturality, organization and foreign language. Pupils and teachers who were involved in the project were participants from the schools of Gymnasium Bad Essen / Germany, Liceo Classico Scientifico Ariosto Spallanzani / Italy and GELDE Sapon / Greece. Those members of the project took part in the transnational project meetings, around 13 pupils per school and two teachers. There was a preparatory meeting of the teachers in Bad Essen, at which the organizational guidelines were agreed, as well as two meetings of the student groups with the accompanying teachers, which took place successfully in Greece and Italy. The third international project meeting had to be canceled due to COVID19. In the first phase, the pupils first worked individually in the schools and then across national borders in one of the three participating countries ("at that time"). The second phase, which worked organizationally in the same way, comprised the effects on the present day for European citizens and thus also on the pupils as individuals ("today"). In the third phase, the same procedure was followed by a look at the Future of Europe daring with regard to dealing with the migration issue ("in the future"). However, this working phase only took place in the individual national groups. The project results were very diverse. A self-developed film on the topic of "Migration in Europe" in the overall context shows the pupils' creative, media and organizational skills. Numerous presentations made in Greece prove the intercultural cooperation in both social and professional terms. The film sequences shot in Italy also testify to an intensive examination of the subject. The blog and the websites that were also developed provide insights into the media, communicative and technical areas of the overall project. An expected long-term benefit becomes clear for all project participants, since they have received further training in many ways. The pupils in particular have gained considerable media skills and intercultural experience. The teachers have received communication, technical and organizational training. The schools involved will certainly benefit from this project in the long term in the sense of promoting European coexistence on many levels.
