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.

The important items I will need, if I change my location, are clothes, water and photos. I would take clothes, because without clothes I would get cold, and I couldn’t go anywhere naked. I would take water, because without water we can’t live. Also, it is useful in our life. I would take some photos as memories. So that I don’t feel that I’m alone.

(in the suitcase) My suitcase: clothes, water, photos.

If I had to leave my country I would carry in my heart my habits and people I had met.

I would keep habits as thoughts, for example weaking up early, exercising before breakfast, spending time with my family, making my bed etc. I would keep them in order to always remember them and go on doing them.

I would keep people I have met because they might b useful for me in the future or I might be helpful to them.
