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.

As a small boy I lived in Syria. We lived outside Damaskus. It was a village. The house was very big. We had two dog, hen, a rooster and a hare. My grandfather liked to make the trees and flowers nice. I felt happy in our house. We moved to Germany because of the war in Syria and we could not live there anymore. I was a bit sad, but then I learned German and I found new friends. It was fun. I lived in a house with two floors and we lived at the first floor. The house was big. I and my mother and my sisters were in Germany. My father lived in Sweden. Thereafter we took the train to Sweden. I thought Sweden was beautiful because of all the water and grass. I went to Adjunkten for two months. Now I go to Bäckskolan. The school I nice and I have five friends. I live in a flat.
