Duration: approximately 2 sessions of 45 minutes
The main development theme is to learn about and work on the Emmaus province's project for welcoming migrants. We want the students to learn about this situation and to relate it to the need for this year's solidarity campaign.
We use the Feel - Imagine - Change format to create the activity and make it easy for young people to understand. In each of the stages we will do the following:
Feel: Presentation of APM - Itaka Escolapios
Firstly, the APM programme (Accompaniment of Migrants) and the reality of migrants in Spain will be presented. To do this, we recommend that the teacher watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNESZi1nEPA ,where the programme is explained in detail. This way, the content can be adapted to the age and characteristics of the group of students.
The students will then be able to take the following trivia quiz on the Accompaniment of Migrants programme:https://view.genial.ly/5f9867ada536360d0def4a6a/game-trivial
Imagine: Art workshop
In this second part, the students will have to freely express ("raising their brush") their opinion on the subject of migration, reception and the rights of people and children. To do so, they will work on different techniques such as collage, brush painting, pointillism, etc., and artistic movements such as pop art or urban art, which served as a critique of injustice.
We propose to include it in the subject of Artistic, Plastic and Visual Education, in order to make it a transversal activity and to be able to include it in the classroom programme.
Change: Exhibition
Finally, at the end of the campaign, the students' work will be displayed in an area of the classroom or school so that the whole educational community can see it. In addition, an "auction" can be held to bid for a specific piece of work..
