SIFA’S TALK: A BOSNIAN REFUGEE

In February, a woman called Sifa Suljic, a Bosnian refugee living in Catalonia, came to our school to share her experience with us.

4^th, 5^th and 6^th graders listened to her talk and they got impressed because of how hard it was. Children emphatized with her very quickly showing her their sensibility.

She escaped from Bosnia’s war 25 years ago, she could only come with her daughter who has 3 months at that time. By that time Bosnia was being bombed and most of her relatives were suffering: they died, they got injured or disappeared.

She went from Bosnia to Macedonia. There she could have a passport to travel to Spain, in concrete to the Basque Country. One year later, she moved to Catalonia, because there was a family who wanted to welcome her kind of family.

When the war was over her husband could come and they both had their second son. 

She wants us to use her experience to develop sensibility towards war and refugees. Thank you Sifa!



These are the beautiful shape poems children made after the activity.

Latvian students discuss migration

Last week Latvian students were watching stories about Ali and Julianne. After watching the videos students raised some serious questions and thoughts about what it is like to be away from family and home. Following was the discussion. We found out that if we would have to move to a different country majority would move to America. We talked about history when Latvians also had to seek refuge and the reasons why it happened. Students found the main reason why it is necessary for children like Ali and Julianne to flee their homes. We compared our likes, dislikes and fears with refuge children and concluded that we are very similar and we have to get to know each other better. At the end of the discussion the students wrote acronym poems which reflected the compassion and understanding towards refugees.
