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.

As a small child I was in Syria in a big house with a flat. The house was very big. Mum hade a job and we were really happy. It was Kenya. We were in Kenya. We were a bit happy but our mum was not with us. The whole day we cried every day. We lived with a man who was our cousin and I did not know where I lived. Then I did not know what happened. We moved to Sweden. In Sweden I am with mum so that feels really good. We cannot find a house. We move every day to another place. That is how we do. Now I am in school and I work really well. I have the kind teachers. They are so good. I live in Skäggetorp and it feels a little good. I like to be here.
