International teacher training course in Afacan/Turkey, 19.-25. September 2011

Migration in Europe- Migration in Turkey. A practical approach

Migration has become a relevant topic in a lot of European schools. More and more students with migratory backgrounds are in the classroom, with new challenges for the teachers. The course will approach the topic from two sides. New methods on the topic of migration and intercultural learning are presented in a practical way, we will try out this methods. On the other hand we will introduce Turkey not only a main country of emigration to Europe, but also as a country with a large internal migration. The course will give an overview of the current situation, as well as visits to schools and projects, where we will meet teachers and people involved in migration projects there. Nowadays students with migratory background especially those coming from the so called “Muslim countries” are confronted with prejudices. The course will help to get some insights into the Turkish society, and - with a focus on educational questions- develop intercultural learning.
