The European Club of Agrupamento de Escolas de Sátão and members of TAG eTwinning project have accepted the challenge thrown down by the Portuguese Ministry of Education to take part in this awareness campaign aimed at sensitizing pupils to the Syrian Refugees crisis and making them feel the hardships of being a refugee. We invited teachers, pupils and school personnel and eTwinning project partners to join the campaign “E se fosse eu? Fazer a mochila e partir”. The challenge consisted in imagining the following situation: If you had to flee from your country which is at war with only a small bag in which to pack your most valued and needed possessions, what would you fill your bag with? Pupils could either bring the bag with the things they chose or a photo of the bag with those things and present it to the class and explain their choices. We invited all eTwinners through eTwinning Live Event and Facebook to join us in this event to share the photo of their bag and what is in their bag and explain their choices.

Here is an example:
