Let's dream ... together

The European project "Musiques Migratoires" has started in Thessaloniki with a drama workshop in which the boys and girls of the 5th grade of the 3rd Primary School of Intercultural Education of Menemeni participated. The school is located in Dendropotamos, an unprivileged area of Thessaloniki with low income and high unemployment, a neighbourhood where mostly Roma people live. To motivate them participate in the project we designed a drama workshop as a first approach to the theme. The drama work was based on the book "The magic pillows", written by the famous greek writer of children's books Eugene Trivizas. We played and talked about dreams and nightmares, things that protect and help us in order to sleep better. Maybe a fairytale? Maybe a song? Let's work on that and collect them !!!

ABSTRACT

As a development of the action initiated in the Bordeaux Metropolis by the author Aurélia Coulaty, the project "Migratory Musics", which lasts two years, allows the experimentation of a pedagogical device, designed with the pedagogical teams, based on "know-how" workshops between mothers, children and professionals (of the education, cultural and social sectors). Innovative teaching tools are developed (in three languages, English, French and Greek) to be spread to teachers through Europe. They will take the form of a CD book, a theoretical curriculum, an accompanying information guide for teachers, educators and migrant mothers and didactic tutorials, developed “in vivo” and presented in the form of sound creations (broadcast by radios and web associated with the project). At the end of the project, teachers have methodologies and tools to communicate better and cooperate with allophone mothers and migrant children. 4 dissemination events are organized, in the 3 countries and on the radio waves, in order to strengthen the appropriation of the project. 3 training sessions for the involved teachers are also set up on the following subjects: enhancing the mother tongues of migrant children in socio-educational projects, cooperating with migrant mothers on the integration of their child and carrying out projects valuing migrant children and their families. Evaluated by specialists in education and cross-cultural mediation, the tools will be used for 5,000 education professionals in the second year of the project and thus encourage the integration of families welcomed in many European territories.
