The context in which this project was developed is the present situation European countries find themselves in because of the mass migration of the last few years and the rise of hostile populist voices. The objectives of this project are therefore the reduction of the danger of possible present and future conflicts by furthering the communication between migrants and natives, by increasing tolerance and mutual understanding when the people get to know the different values and cultures better, by trying to increase the migrant families’ trust in local people and local institutions, and by helping migrant families and schoolchildren to cope with work at school.Four European schools will take part in this project: the Adolf-Reichwein-Gesamtschule Lüdenscheid (Germany) will be the coordinating school, IISS Galileo Ferraris from Molfetta / Italy, Escola Secundária Rainha D. Amélia from Lisboa /Portugal, and Ekonomska I Trgovčka Škola from Dubrovnik / Croatia will participate. The German and Portuguese schools are secondary schools, the Italian school is a high school for comprising courses for ICT, mechatronics or electronics, environmental biotechnologies, and applied sciences. The Croatian school is a vocational school which focuses on economy, commerce and business.The activities all the four schools have planned are interviews with people who have experienced migration first-hand (families, fellow students, single people) as well as with authorities, humanitarian organisations or private volunteers who are directly concerned with dealing with migrants and their daily lives, and using all the information gathered for the production of e.g. films and video-clips, brochures, posters, PowerPoint presentations, contributions to our different homepages, photo exhibitons, possibly producing pieces of art (depending on our students’ different ideas and talents, which are so far not yet known). Students’ research will also shed light on the historical elements of migration in the respective countries. The project will be carried out in different ways: there will be face-to-face meetings once at each school (mobilities for 2 teachers and 4 students); the communication between the students of the four schools will take place on the eTwinning platform; the progress and the products of the project will be documented there as well as on all the schools’ homepages and on a special project website, and there will be a project newsletter and a video documentary about the project meetings. The creation of an eBook is planned.The public will be informed via articles in the local newspapers.At the beginning of the project a teacher training activity on eTwinning and the use of TwinSpace, conducted by an eTwinning expert, will take place in Lüdenscheid/Germany. At each meeting, one special aspect of the project will be the center of attention (meeting in Portugal: history of emigration / immigration of each country; meeting in Italy: present situation of migration in the participating countries; meeting in Croatia: steps taken to deal with the matter of migration in the participating countries; meeting in Germany: bundling up results, editing of final products, evaluation).We hope that this project will contribute to making people (all students plus their families involved, staff members, the school community as well as the local community) aware of the situation migrants find themselves in; that it will contribute to the development of new ideas on how to further mutual understanding and tolerance. The project partners will also learn from each other and from their different towns, successful ideas from one partner town might be implemented in the other towns. The introduction and intensive use of eTwinning will be very helpful in possible future projects of the participating schools.In the long run we hope to increase tolerance, respect, and empathy, not only as far as our students are concerned, but also with members of our community, and we hope to make all participants realise the value of a strong European community and of our political system of democracy. And we hope to make a lasting contribution to securing peace in our local communities and Europe-wide.
