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.

  1. I often fight with my parents too, as do many of my classmates, because they think I am little, but at the same time they say I am big enough to assume my responsibilities. This is something that causes a lot of problems for us young people and we can’t communicate with our parents and grown-ups in general.
  2. As my parents come from another country, we speak two languages at home. This is very nice because if we don’t want to be understood by someone who is present, we can speak our own language.
