Ice breakers

As every Erasmus activity, we kick off with ice-breakers in order for students to bond and create a strong sense of community.

Meeting with refugees

On Wednesday, we tackled a more serious topic that left no one indifferent. Thanks to Caritas and the testimonies of refugees and migrants, we were able to hear first-hand what these refugees had to endure when they had to flee from war and integrate in a country where they did not know the language and social codes.

These first-hand accounts gave a face to the stories we regularly see on our screens and made us aware that behind the abstract statistics and war reports there are people who had very similar lives to ours.

To conclude the day, students had to work in teams and produce podcasts and articles about what this encounter brought to them.

Welcome to my village

The last day of the project was dedicated to « Welcome to my Village », a play dough game that put the pupils in the role of migrants who do not master the language or the codes of a community.

Underneath the game aspect is an activity designed to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by migrants who are forced to integrate into a new group.

Cultural visits

Of course, as with any Erasmus project, it was also an opportunity to make cultural discoveries in Strasbourg and Heidelberg, but also to have fun and make new friendships that will last well beyond the project.
