:: AIMS AND OBJECTIVES ::
(general description for the LearningMigration Network)
The main thematic area of the network is Learning About Migration and
Intecultural Relations ((LearningMigration). This means sharing experience and
best practice of how best to deal with the educational challenge of the
increasing number of immigrants into Europe, and also the greater movement of
people between European countries. It also means integrating a better
understanding of the phenomenon of migration into daily teaching in all parts of
the educational community. It further means involving educational authorities in
this network of educators with the purpose of testing how governmental plans and
reforms are implemented in schools and teacher training, and also involve
research institutions and NGOS in this process.
To turn this into practical working areas the large number of institutions in
the LearningMigration network has been organised into four transnational seminar
groups of (a) local schools, (b) teacher training institutions, (c) institutions
of didactical research, and (d) educational authorities that will discuss
educational challenges in a comparative and sharing manner (an indenpendent
group for NGOs will not be set up).
Each of the four thematic seminar groups will be active in CLUSTERING networks,
projects and initiatives in the area of migration and interculturral relations,
thereby fostering long term collaboration with other networks, projects, and
European initiatives.
- Collaborative learning in transnational groups (seminar groups)
- Collaborative learning in integrated (complementary) groups in each country
- Strengthening the historical dimension in learning: the understanding that
migration is an ongoing phenomenon that is not new to Europe – in fact that
migration is “normal” for society. However, that migration has been increasing
year by year as part of globalisation and that certain competences should be
trained in schools to make students better able to handle a rapidly changing
world.
- Strenghtening the use of Emphaty in the learning situation through
implementing of story telling and related pedagogy
- Encourage “exchange” as a pedagogic instrument (students, teachers, schools,
families).
