In A Far Away Land: Refugee Children

Description

In A Far Away Land: Refugee Children is an EU Erasmus+ project about the immigrant& refugee people. The reason of the name is children. ‘In a faraway land’ is a quote from worldwide fairytales. The children will feel themselves just like in a fairy tale, safe and normal. 51 million people have had to displaced due to many different reasons. The situation has caused many problems in their lives and international crisis in Europe. Especially, the children have been affected. Every one in three refugees is a child. The project aims to understand them and raise awareness to their reasons to immigrate, the problems they face, pull down the walls between them and other people who have predijuce. The United Nations Convention on Childrens’ Rights particularly emphasize the refugee& immigrant children. All the contracting states are responsible for protecting these children from dangerous situations may harm these group. That is because we take the refugee& immigrant children as the project’s main target group. Our countries, especially Greece and Turkey have a high population of refugees and in Italy, Portugal, Spain and Romania there are immigrants and asylum seekers, too. These circumstances require empowering the services working on providing the well-being of children and avoiding from the risks which may affect their development negatively.Recent years, European countries have formed some strategies aimed to dissemination of the services children and youth. We aim to contribute ET2020 headline target objectives, priority areas and also LLL quality. We; Turkey, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Greece, came together to contribute this goal of European Commission under favour of our project.We have many special activities to improve their art, sensory, linguistic, thinking, learning skills and improve them physically. They will participates the educational, preschool activities with our teenage students and they will improve their basic, learning, sensory, cognitive, thinking, language, maths, social, DIY (do it yourself) and art skills; they will improve their knowledge of concept and bio-natural; they enhance their creativity. They will be innovative, successful, socially and emotionally developed, tolerant, encouraged, ambitious, active citizens of our future world. We aim to create awareness and tolerance to these people and let them be the members of our society. We would like them to contribute to our national and European development. We will try to understand their situations, learn about their problems and find the solutions to these problems as far as we can. And also our students will learn about Europe and European life. They will get an idea about immigration and refugee people. They will work in the kindergarten for refugees’ children, they will organize extra classes for refugee teenagers and adults. The classes will be compatible with the volunteers’ hobbies and qualifications and will be aimed at organizing free time for children, teenagers and adults. They will also design their own activities to reach the aim of the project and help prepare integration events. Informal learning methods, like discussion, presentation, exchange of ideas, opinions, training combined with discussion of the issue, learning by doing, individual and group initiatives, will be dominating throughout the project. The effect of the project will be the development of intercultural dialogue, raising awareness of the refugee issue among the participants and recipients of the project, increasing the level of knowledge and competence of both participants and recipients. Additional effect will be increasing the visibility of the ERASMUS+ Programme in the regions.The project will bring the results such as better learning outcomes, a good start to education for the preschoolers, developed holistic and age appropraite pedogocical frame, ensuring the benefits of early childhood education are carried through the other school education levels, a new methodology, scouting activities as an education tool. For longer term there will be increased feeling of internationalism; youngsters will start to look for information about the EU and its youth program; refugees will be integrated to local community and European volunteers will have much better knowledge about different cultures and subjects they are interested in, this will lead them to better position in the work market and social life in their homeThe working method will be based on methods of formal and non-formal education. Active participation, informal and direct involvement of the participants and stakeholders that cooperate in the initiative will be strongly encouraged. The richness of this partnership is also on the approach of migration issues and target groups of different partner refugees, asylum seekers and migrants coming from different cultural backgrounds. Results from our project will be used in local, regional, European policies, systems or practices.
