Empowering refugee children is crucial to advance their social skills and support their integration in their host communities. HOM partnered with the organisation Design For Change, to receive training on how to promotes children’s super-powers.
When working with refugee students belonging to a Portuguese Secondary School class, we applied a methodology that encouraged them to feel and imagine. They decided to focus on the abandonment of the elderly and invited nursing homes to school, where they danced, ate and played games with the elderly. This initiative was nominated by FAMO, with 100% of funds being reverted to the school to support the acquisition of educational materials.
