We were given the names, phone numbers and addresses of NGOs which are currently working on the insertion of immigrants and refugees in Badajoz ( “Todos iguales, Todos Legales” (All Equal, All Legal), “Cáritas”, “Gregorio Morán: Peace and Solidarity “ Foundation, “NZC: Women in conflict zones”).
We were given ideas about possible awareness-raising activities  to be done with students based on different techniques like theatre-forum, street action (Suitcases)…
 They provided us with new ideas about the preparation of information material for immigrants (the importance of using videos rather than texts, to ensure the renewal and maintenance of the website, and son on).

Participants:

Students of Innovation Project “Prometeo” Level II.

Objectives:

-To gather information about the services offered by the Public Library and how to access it in order to include it later on the website for immigrants which will be created in the project Erasmus +.

-To bring our students to a cultural centre like the library and to encourage them to use it.

-To train students in the use of digital tools like on-line application forms and on-line catalogues (search of books) and in the elaboration of infographics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Firstly, the staff of the Public Library gave an informative talk to students to inform them about all the services offered there and how they can access them. Besides they were taught how to search in the on-line catalogue and the staff showed them the facilities.

Next, some of the students could collect their membership card which had been applied for previously through the on-line application form. Others applied for the card through the paper form at the moment. Afterwards, they carried out some activities in which they had to search for works of Universal Literature and to find information in these works to answer some questions. This work was done in a collaborative way, because some students lack of sufficient autonomy for the use of digital tools.

They day ended with the sharing of the information collected and the valuation of the visit.

The second part of this activity will consist in the elaboration of an infographic by students in which the information collected is presented.

The activity begins by putting into group established ideas about contagious diseases, the possibility of epidemic, levels of preventions and health promotion. Then, in order to free the thought of these preconceived ideas, the debate is encouraged.

 In the Scientific-technological field, some concepts are explained such as vaccination, symptoms and signs of infectious and non-infectious diseases, healthy habits, ways of disease transmission, life expectancy and life expectancy in good health. Work is done through the use of videos, photographs, displays and statistical studies

Objectives:

-To know first hand the services offered by SEXPE (Extremadura Public Employment Service) and to know the procedures to benefit from them.

-To make students aware of the need to improve their training and qualification to join the world of work as soon as possible and in the best possible conditions.

Description:

Antonio Román Barrado, director of the employment center of Badajoz, received us at his work center located at 6 Gorrión Street, where he showed the students the different services offered by his office and told them how to access them. He also made recommendations to improve their training and encouraged them to visit the web page of the SEXPE assiduously and to go personally to any of the offices of the SEXPE in Badajoz to improve the techniques of job search and to be aware of existing jobs. Then there was a question time in which the students could solve countless questions and they could even make suggestions and show their dissatisfaction with the current situation. Besides, they could also make inquiries about the steps that an immigrant should take if he wants to demand employment in our city. These data will then be used to elaborate the information material for immigrants included in our project.
