BACKPACK ID

Bridging languages and memories to foster multiple identities: "Never leave your backpack behind!"

About the project

BACKPACK ID is an innovative intervention for promoting the inclusion of refugee children at school in 4 European countries (Greece and Italy, Germany and Sweden), which are met with acute and very diverse challenges by the ongoing refugee crisis. Informed by these differences, the present approach on social inclusion advances a common account of social inclusion challenges; it sees the social inclusion of refugee children as a function of addressing the needs and perspectives of those children and their families, and local communities and stakeholders, while affirming common European values.

Outputs

Backpack ID using a bottom-up participatory method produced the following outputs in order to address social inclusion interpersonal and intergroup understanding in the school environment.

Hello, my name is Meryam. I am 13 years old. I am interested in swimming and drawing.

My name means the mountains, the heights and the beauty. My favorite colou is red and my favorite animal is dogs.

We came to Sweden from Lebanon but are from Syria. We went to Lebanon due to the war. I was six years old when we moved to Lebanon, which is why I have lived for a longer time in Lebanon than in Syria. I studied in Lebanon for eight years. When we left for Sweden I was very sad because I will leave my family and my friends. I received many letters and souvenirs from my friends who always remind me of the fine moments we had together.

When I grow up I would like to be a designer because I like clothes and fashion.
