MIGRATION & YOUTH
Migrations flows, and the resulting social changes, are crucial subjects of discussion all over Europe.
Several projects that we carry on are based on creative activities aimed to young people as beneficiaries because there are significant obstacles to their integration beyond their worrying situation. Young people invest themselves, tell their story and pass on through video or drawing. Children at school can use their language and own culture to facilitate their inclusion. This is done thanks to our European partner’s expertise and commitment.

DAY 1 IN EUROPE
The first day at a new school for migrant pupils is crucial. There are a lot of issues for them, especially when they don’t speak the language from the new country. The project Day 1 aims to build an educational kit to better welcome migrant children from the very beginning. The challenge is to develop tools enabling those involved in education to use mother tongues as a resource for all pupils, and not as a marker of difference.
Greek, Belgian, French, Italian, Irish and Maltese partners, under the leadership of LABA, have all already worked on projects promoting the inclusion of allophone children in their host countries, in particular Migratory Musics through music and lullabies.
