The activity leader asks the names of the children of foreign origin, which he writes on the blackboard. The children are questioned about the origins of these names and they are asked the reason of the number of children of foreign origin in Belgium.
The children’s representations are presented, and then the pupils, who are divided into groups, are given 5 documents.
They are entitled :
- the Polish immigration in Belgium
- the Italian years
- living and working in Belgium
- 40 years of Moroccan immigration in Belgium
- 1974 : end of economical immigration
The groups read these documents and a reporter per group will be led to share the information and to link it up with a few key dates in history thanks to a timeline on which they will have to put back the events.
In conclusion, the children will have learned the reasons that lead people to leave their country thanks to the documents, and they will be led to think about a fairer and more human attitude towards them.
