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.

If I had to go to a foreign country, I would get my Playstation 4 in my backpack, to play Fortnite with my friends to forget myself, then I would get my mobile, to be able to communicate with my family, then a photo showing me with my family, to remember them by, a book to read, my camera to take photos and my watch to know what time it is.
