"Why do refugees live in the old house, should not that be demolished?" The project was born out of this question asked by some German students, who are going to the Friedrich Albert Lange Berufskolleg in Duisburg, which is located directly next to a reguee home.
In discussions with the partner schools from Germany, Sweden, France, Hungary and Spain we found out that there is a similar idea in other countries, but for different reasons.
In Spain and France, refugees arriving from Africa by boat on the coast also have only overcrowded refugee camps available.
The Hungarian partner has a great need for affordable housing for the homeless.
The Swedish school needs housing for students.
The project idea developed with the participating partner schools to design a housing solution that is generally applicable in the basics but can be flexibly adapted to different needs and circumstances through a modular system.
Here is a short video that explains the project:
As a preparation for the first meeting in Tenerife the responsible teachers from Germany, Sweden, France, Hungary und Spain met to discuss all relevant topics.
