Act4Mig – A Course for Teachers on Forced Migration

Forced migration shapes the reality of many students who have sought refuge in Germany. In Saxony, for example, around 10,000 children and adolescents from Ukraine are currently enrolled in schools. Educational policymakers can draw on societal experiences and academic discourse to create a more inclusive school environment (see the Saxon tiered model).

However, viewing forced migration solely from a national perspective would be too narrow. Migration routes often involve border crossings and stays in multiple countries. Many Ukrainian families, for instance, hope to return home and contribute to rebuilding their country. Schools can respond to these biographies by offering systemic support and opening up future perspectives. Teachers play a crucial role in this process.

The Act4Mig project aims to identify the needs of teachers through collaboration with partner countries Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine. A digital self-learning course will be developed, providing both universal and country-specific resources on schooling and migration. This initiative will contribute to the professionalization of pedagogical approaches.
