From 18 April to 9 May, eTwinning wants to find out how young people across Europe feel about diversity through the ‘Celebrate Diversity’ campaign. The campaign will see teachers organising debates in their classrooms, asking their students to engage with questions such as: “How do you define diversity?”, “How can we preserve it?”, and “How can we promote diversity?”.

The Teacher Academy is a new service from the School Education Gateway to help teachers across Europe. The first MOOC will be in June 2016 on the topic of supporting diversity in classrooms with a particular focus on the integration of refugee children in schools. More information can be found on the Teacher Academy website.

Migrants and Refugees
This project will bring together students from France, Germany, the Netherlands and Norway. They will focus on the topic of refugees in Europe. Through literature, sharing our personal stories and meetings with migrants and aid workers, our students will gain a better understanding of what it means to be a migrant or a refugee, and gain a better understanding of the challenges currently facing Europe.
