Cultural issues: schools must invest in artistic activities, as a way of integrating migrant students. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcVsA3TvNSk )
You can find some successful stories using music, drama, art, dance... in the different schools which makes possible this integration of completely different people with a completely different culture. (http://www.slideshare.net/albertocardoso/module-5-varna-meeting-italy)
How to integrate: I cannot like what I do not know. It is extremely important to get to know the different people and the different cultures to understand and accept them. (http://www.youtube.com/user/donkageorgieva#p/a/u/2/qz_0j3_lqTE)
What can students, parents and schools do? There are small things each one of us can do to change the system. If parents get involved in the children’s school education most of the times the problem of integration will be a success. If schools are informed about the students’ problems, prevention can be used as a way of integration. If teachers get to know the migrants, if they listen to them, a better inclusion will be possible. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_-Bg_clkIo)
