Migration is a very complex issue that concerns almost all countries in the world, certainly to various extents and with different impacts on politics, economies, societies and individuals in particular – but basically all nations have to face and deal with the advantages and problems that it incites. Thus it seems only natural that young students of different European countries get in touch with each other and communicate about the matter as envisaged in the present Erasmus+ project entitled "Leaving home, coming home: A project to make students aware of migration problems in our countries“. With Turkey, France, Spain, Romania, Germany and Poland as participating partner countries, a huge and multidimensional range of aspects is covered: Turkey needs to cope with an increasing number of Syrian refugees, France and Spain are facing migrants from Africa, Romania is mostly affected by emigration to economically more privileged countries such as Germany, for instance, which, in turn, has to find a way to deal with the rising numbers of asylum seekers. Finally Poland, which will more than likely have to deal with migration from Ukraine. At first sight, these issues seem remote from the students’ daily lives in their respective countries but, taking a closer look, it becomes evident that especially young people are concerned as they are living in a Europe that becomes more and more connected and where transnational communication and interaction play an important role: one’s future job is no longer limited to one’s country of origin, travelling to other European countries has become easier and even personal encounters at home or school may involve different nationalities. Therefore dealing with a (common and individual) national and European identity has become necessary. The main goals of our project are linked to positioning oneself as an individual in such a fast-growing, intertwined and complex global world and acting accordingly. Our project aims at a greater understanding and an increased responsibility towards social, linguistic and cultural diversity, which includes the students’ active involvement in concrete social settings, such as helping out in asylum homes or talking face-to-face to refugees, for instance. Moreover, we intend to improve the young people’s language skills allowing personal interaction with other youngsters from the participating European schools, which evidently needs English or French as a lingua franca. E-twinning, e-mailing as well as the realization of a common film project will enhance the learners’ digital competences. The latter will also be the final outcome of our project: a short film mosaique that reflects the results of six different cinematic subprojects realized in varying constellations of the six countries involved: One subproject pursues the aim to investigate the situation of Polish people in Germany and, vice versa, the history of Germans in Poland. Another one focuses on multinational migrants to Turkey, particularly to Istanbul. In that same way all six project groups include different national participants and envisage different goals. What they have in common though is that they touch the lives and individual environments of all our students which will enable them to not only get deeper insights in social, historical, political and economic issues but, more important, to allow them to enrich and develop their own identities as a young European citizen.
