Aim :
-
To involve students
in the human face of migration.
-
To allow them to
record their own experiences and to learn from the experiences of
other children.
-
To reflect about
whether the millions of people who have migrated during the 20th
Century have felt the same emotions as the students themselves have
felt.
-
To have older
students think about the value of family and friends and psychological
wellbeing.
-
To encourage
students to be more caring towards new people who move into their
neighbourhood or school.

Note :
This project
can be used in the classroom as a topic in its own right particularly in
personal development courses but it is also an integral part of studying
the larger issue of migration and I would urge teachers to consider
contributing to the "Where
have my family lived in the 20th Century?" project as well.

Moving House
|
Method :
Children record with
photos, drawing or words their own experiences of moving house with their
families or from one parent to another.
How did they feel about leaving friends, favourite places?
How did they make new friends and learn to live in the new place?
Did they need to learn a new language?
