THE ROLE OF KARPOS

The project started in 2018 with the online survey «Immigration and Human Rights Issues in Education through the Use of New Technologies». Our goal was the mapping of the needs on the part of teachers and educators. The next phase included a 5day training (LTTA) in Bolognia where selected administrators and teachers from all the participant countries were trained. Based on this training the greek training module was designed, co-edited by Karpos and Action Aid of Greece.

During the school year 2019-2020, Karpos collaborated with 5 High Schools of Attica, and with the support of teachers and school's directors, students created the outputs of the project: 5 short documentaries enriched with researches, compositions, media exercises etc.

Media workshops

of 4 hours each for every classroom, with storytelling techniques, images and sound.

Student research

on local immigration stories and characters with intercultural past and present.

Compositions, interviews, poems
