Kerpen – a home for many migrants

In mayor Biehler’s municipal office, we had a presentation by the representative of the United Nations for the life, travelling, conditions and the risks of a young migrant. He told us his story of his childhood when he had to leave and seek help from other countries around the world. He went to many countries but no one wanted to help him. When he arrived in Germany, he was happy because they provided him with basic living conditions and they decided to help him.

His origin is from Iraq. He also described the difficulties he had to face while travelling without food and water. The migrant thanked Germany which was the only country to provide him a place to stay at the migrants camp. He described the room in which he lived in that camp. There he met a lot of friends, which also had their own story to tell. He told us that he had been in Macedonia for a short period of time and he had a good time in here. Now he lives in Koln where he works and has everything that he needs.

My experience of participating in the Erasmus + project (Hymanity has no borders)

In the past two school years I have had the opportunity to participate in the Erasmus + project, along with students and teachers from my school and from 5 European countries. From October 1 to October 5, 2018, we stayed in Athens, Caesarea. While we were there, we had many lectures, workshops, and visits. I was particularly impressed by the film we watched during the Red Cross workshop, based on stories from real-life migrants, their courage, sadness, pain, their rescue, their difficulties, hunger, their sleepless nights, the unfortunate loss of many lives. . … We also realized that beautiful Aegean waters are, unfortunately, the death of many innocent lives. Those looks were really exciting and sad for us. The pain and empathy we felt at that moment cannot be described, but they will remain in our memories forever. But despite that, we were surprised and amazed at their courage, perseverance and desire for a better tomorrow. After the workshop we talked and each student shared his / her opinion, idea and feelings.
At the end of December in the Geography section, I shared this experience and my painful truth with my school students in order to encourage youth toward humanitarianism. Through maps and pictures, I presented the way to many innocent people who had unwittingly lost their homes and loved ones.
