The We Refugees Archive sees itself as a digital education center. Based on the archive of self-testimonies of refugees, educational modules and workshops are offered for historical and civic education and remembrance work.
Methodological Approaches
developed in cooperation with BildungsBausteine e. V.
“Refugee, migrant or … – how shall I say?”
10th Grade and higher (schools with gymnasium orientation)
60 min.
Includes instructions for analog and digital formats.
Goals:
The participants learn about different experiences of flight in the past and present.
The participants reflect on concepts attributed to themselves and to others of/about people who had to leave their home.
This reflection on semantics simultaneously enables a reflection on one‘s own attitude regarding the topic of flight.
