Living in a country other than the one in which you were born, is worldwide a normality and characterizes the migration of the 20th and 21st centuries. This project will listen to the voice of people with migration biographies all across Europe, e.g. looking at the work migration, especially the youth's migration particularly from Southern to Northern or Middle Europe since the financial crisis is of special interest, as well as the current influx of refugees. We concentrate on interviews, diaries or pieces of literature, autobiographies or other self-reflecting documents and study and document migration biographies from all over Europe. Four schools (Planegg/Germany; Bari/Italy; Nea Moudania/Greece and Porto/Portugal) are participating with their students and teachers. In four students workshops taking place in the participating schools and two teacher meetings, we will research cooperatively and exchange results on an international basis. Results will be made accessible to a broader audience via exhibitions, e-books, social media, the press and publication on eTwinning. After this project, students and teachers will have a deeper understanding of the partner countries and will get to know cultural differences and learn to use them productively. They will be enabled to initiate and implement EU-wide education projects. We hope, the partnership will continue in a different form of collaboration, as in social projects or in an students exchange to intensify the language knowledge. Moreover, all participants will have a deeper understanding of how extensively migration has shaped Europe in the 20th century and will continue to do so in the future. We will recognize which problems and in particular, which enrichment migration represents for us all.
The project focused on the phenomenon of migration based on individual biographies in different places in the European Union. In Planegg, the work focused on a W-seminar of 14 secondary school students who were going through the two-year qualification phase. Within the framework of a scientific work, they dealt with various biographies they had chosen themselves. These were chosen to be representative of the German post-war eras. Here are examples: Contract worker from Vietnam, schoolmate from Switzerland, mother from Guatemala The FLG has expanded its political education work: Three times, students of grade 10 took part in project-related day seminars. There was an intensive analysis of migration biographies at different levels: - intellectually-analytically in the upper school lessons in Planegg, - socio-critically in the seminar events for grade 10 in Planegg, - in panel discussions with experts and contemporary witnesses in Planegg and Bari, - investigative for the biographies in Planegg, for video documentaries in Nea-Moudania - creative for the comics and designs in Rutigliano The cooperation with the Munich City Archives and the municipality of Planegg, and through them also with Prof. Rappenglück from the Munich University of Applied Sciences, proved to be very fruitful. In the partner schools of Porto and Rutigliano, the cooperation with the municipality proved to be profitable because politics and democracy present themselves as close and transparent. In Planegg, this applies to the level of Bavarian state politics and the members of the German Bundestag; in Rutigliano, it also applies to the government of the Puglia region. New forms of teaching and working by teachers and pupils were panel discussions with politicians at different levels of decision-making, simulation games and election simulations, but also countless interviews with those affected from their personal environment, schoolmates, parents or grandparents. New forms of presentation can be found on the project's homepage. Digital products form material for future teaching projects. The great, wide-ranging increase in knowledge, the contribution to personality development and the formation of a European identity was surprising even for us teachers. The high level of work in the southern European partner schools and the reliable, trusting division of labour is demonstrated by an ebook with the joint products.
