Phase 1b - Research on the current situation
Die Flüchtlinge und wir
Täglich sind Menschen in vielen Ländern der Welt aus unterschiedlichen Gründen gezwungen, ihre Heimat zu verlassen. Sie fliehen vor Verfolgung, vor Folter und Krieg. Dabei nehmen sie große Risiken und Strapazen in Kauf: Ihr Leben ist in ihrer Heimat nicht mehr sicher, da können sie es genauso gut für die Flucht aufs Spiel setzen.
Jeder Flüchtling hat eine Geschichte
Wie eindrucksvoll es sein kann, hinter die Fassade von Menschen zu sehen, bewies Andrea Tremolada, Koordinator der Abteilung Flüchtlinge und Einwanderer des Verbandes Volontarius, bei seinem Besuch am 19. Oktober 2016 in der Klasse 3 Gym. Hinter seinem unscheinbaren Äußeren, seiner Gelassenheit, Bescheidenheit und Ruhe verbirgt sich ein Lebensweg, der alles andere als typisch ist für unsere Gesellschaft, in der jeder um sein persönliches Weiterkommen besorgt ist.

War in Peace’- photo exhibition visit (High School of Gazi)
In February three student groups of our school visited a very interesting photo exhibition at St. Mark’s Basilica, in the centre of Heraklion. They all had the chance to admire and focus on the work of Aris Messinis, a Greek photo journalist working for AFP. He has recently been awarded with the ‘Visa d’Or’ prize for his powerful, moving and exceptional photos covering the dramatic flow of refugees arriving at the Aegean Sea in the hope of finding a better life.
You Are But You Are Not – Report 2Gym
Moving between observed and narrated reality
On 10th of May we, the class 2Gym, participated in the audio project “You are, but you are not” by Lungomare.
This project consisted of listening to an audio guide while walking through parts of the city. Beginning at the station, we followed the railway continuing along Piazza Verdi and Via Marconi, finally arriving at Parco Rosegger. Using the headphones that we had put on at the beginning, we could hear the voice of a narrator who told us the realistic story of a refugee arriving in Bolzano.
