PORTUGAL

  • Our activity on Europe Day, May 9th, was very simple but it was quite emotional. We asked our students who went to Greece to talk about their experience there with the roleplay they did on "being refugees".

    We invited other classes to attend the presentation and the kids were very attentive and focused on everything that was said and shown.

    They started introducing the film they were about to show, not wanting to go to deep into it before it was seen by everyone.

    Then, everybody watched the film attentively.

    In the end, the students started talking about their personal experiences, how they were feeling when they started doing it and how they felt in the end of the whole experience. They were deeply emotional and managed to move the audience. They talked about the refugees camp they had visited and about the experience with the film. 

    Through their testimonies it was clear that the objectives of the project were being achieved, a change in their attitudes and behaviour is taking place. They now perceive the issues of migration in a totally different way.

    Here are the pictures taken. They are also on FILES.
