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.

I worked with selling sheeps (farmer). I moved because I owe the state of Kuwait. I was scared of the police. I thought it was hard to cope with the ocean and to the people.

I was at a friend's place. May 20th I left Kuwait with the assistance by a smuggler. I was passed on between various smugglers. I stayed in France for three years where I lived in a small house. The way to Europe took me 15 days. I stayed in Turkey for sevend days. The vehicles I used to get to Europe wew aero plane, train, bus, car and boat. I was sad the whole journey and I am still sad. I came first to Malmo and in April 2018 I moved to Linkoping. What made me sad was that I had to be separated from my parentsand the aggression from the smugglers. I wish I will be accepted in Sweden.
