Η έρευνα εστιάζει σε διαφορετικές συνιστώσες της διδασκαλίας της ελληνικής γλώσσας και πολιτισμού σε ενήλικες πρόσφυγες, θέτοντας στο επίκεντρο τη δυναμική της αλληλεπίδρασης που αναπτύσσεται στους χώρους μάθησης σε περιόδους έντονων κοινωνικών και πολιτισμικών ανακατατάξεων. Αξιοποιεί συμπεράσματα που αντλούνται από τη διδακτική και ευρύτερα κοινωνική πραγματικότητα, έχοντας ως σημείο αναφοράς την υλοποίηση εθελοντικής δράσης που σχεδιάστηκε το 2016 και συνεχίστηκε μέχρι το τέλος του 2019 στη Σχολή Ανθρωπιστικών Επιστημών του Πανεπιστημίου Αιγαίου. Μέσα από την συλλογή εμπειρικών δεδομένων προκύπτει πως η γλωσσική διδασκαλία σε ομάδες προσφύγων αποτελεί ένα ευρύ πεδίο μετασχηματισμού που βρίσκεται σε συνεχή διαμόρφωση στη βάση των κοινωνικών εξελίξεων και των αυξημένων εκπαιδευτικών αναγκών.

Η παρουσίαση θα γίνει στα Ελληνικά.


Healing through the Values of Democracy

SPEAKERS:
Gelly Aroni, Head of the Unit for Integration and Support for Unaccompanied Minors, Special Secretariat for the Protection of UAMS, Ministry of Migration and Asylum
&
Professor Rolf Gollob from Zurich University of Teacher Education, Swiss National Coordinator for Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights for the Council of Europe.

As part of Refugee Week Greece’s exploration workshops around the theme of ‘healing’, we are inviting you to this interactive online workshop!Participants will reflect and explore practical ways of understanding the difference between accepting and tolerating differences and valuing cultural diversity.

Cultural diversity and variability are an asset for democratic societies and cultural affiliations, pluralism of perspectives, views and practices ought to be positively regarded, appreciated, and cherished.Those who perceive that their experiences, values, and attitudes are not simply tolerated, but rather valued, gain a sense of integration and equality. This feeling is an important step towards healing from experienced injuries and devaluations, from insecurities and fear.

A democracy at the center of which is the appreciation of differences can greatly contribute in such healing processes.

The workshop is in ENGLISH.

Στο πλαίσιο των εργαστηρίων του Refugee Week Greece με θέμα το «healing» σάς προσκαλούμε σε αυτό το διαδραστικό διαδικτυακό εργαστήριο! Οι συμμετέχοντες θα προβληματιστούν και θα διερευνήσουν πρακτικούς τρόπους κατανόησης της διαφοράς μεταξύ της αποδοχής και της ανοχής των διαφορών, καθώς και της εκτίμησης της πολιτισμικής διαφορετικότητας.

Η πολιτισμική ποικιλομορφία και μεταβλητότητα αποτελούν πλεονέκτημα για τις δημοκρατικές κοινωνίες και τις πολιτιστικές σχέσεις, ο πλουραλισμός των προοπτικών, των απόψεων και των πρακτικών πρέπει να αντιμετωπίζεται θετικά και να εκτιμάται. Όσοι αντιλαμβάνονται ότι οι εμπειρίες, οι αξίες και οι στάσεις τους δεν γίνονται απλώς ανεκτές, αλλά μάλλον εκτιμώνται, αποκτούν μια αίσθηση ολοκλήρωσης και ισότητας. Αυτό το συναίσθημα είναι ένα σημαντικό βήμα προς την επούλωση από βιωμένους τραυματισμούς και υποτιμήσεις, από ανασφάλειες και φόβο.

Μια δημοκρατία στο επίκεντρο της οποίας είναι η εκτίμηση των διαφορών μας μπορεί να συμβάλλει σε μεγάλο βαθμό σε τέτοιες θεραπευτικές διαδικασίες.

Το εργαστήριο είναι στα ΑΓΓΛΙΚΑ.

Caroline Burraway in conversation with Niovi Zarampouka-Chatzimanou 

In the framework of Refugee Week 2022, the visual artist Caroline Burraway takes us through her work and discusses with the curator Niovi Zarampouka-Chatzimanou and the participants contemporary issues that arise. To what extent is socially engaged art a means of propaganda? How does she as an artist choose to work over the time and over the different locations and how important is consistency and trust in such processes? What are her thoughts regarding ethics and “safe space” for such a work to happen? The artist will present works from Moria (Lesvos) to the Jungle (Calais) as well as her future plans and concerns about the current political situation at the borders of Europe. 

Caroline Burraway BA (Hons), MAFA

A British contemporary artist, Burraway studied BA (Hons) Drawing at Camberwell College of Arts and MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins.In a compassion-fatigued world where the relentless circulation of negative imagery has shaped increasingly dangerous forms of apathy and indifference, Burraway looks for new ways the contemporary audience can engage with her work and uses the power of art to encourage awareness, critical thought and debate around current, important socio-political issues. Burraway has been responding to the refugee crisis since 2015, filming and collecting research materials in refugee camps across Europe which she uses for installations, video, and large-scale drawings. This project, supported by UNHCR, aims to provoke a humanitarian response to the twin issues of displacement and dispossession, while questioning the differential values placed on a Western life and the life of a refugee arriving at the borders of the Western world.Working with multiple layers of meaning and ways of seeing, Burraway attempts to trace the contours of refugee lives in a fuller complexity, showing not just the scars of their past, but also the meanings and joys which, like all people everywhere, they create on a daily basis, dreaming of futures they hope to bring about.


Burraway’s new installation, Ungrievable Lives, comprising 13 children’s dresses made from lifejackets she gathered from the Lifejacket Graveyard in Lesvos, inspired British composer Charlotte Bray to write a new string quartet and both pieces together had their world premiere at the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg in April.  They will tour to London’s Wigmore Hall, Vienna (Konzerthaus), Finland and Sante Fe Chamber Music Festival throughout the course of 2022/23.  Each dress represents 1 of the 13 million child refugees worldwide, signifying the absent body and evoking memory, absence and loss.  The dresses are an invitation to the viewer to meditate and contemplate the story of the refugee’s journey and loss as they try to reach the shores of Europe.   


Burraway has taken part in numerous group and solo exhibitions, public installations and film screenings both at home and internationally, and has been nominated for several awards such as, First Prize Winner of the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2018 (formerly Jerwood).  In 2017 she collaborated with architects on the ‘Holocaust Memorial’.  Exhibitions include, Draw Art Fair London, Saatchi Gallery; UNESCO International Exhibition on Human Rights, Italy; Jerwood Drawing Prize.  Burraway has been invited to write about her work in several art journals and national magazines such as: Interalia Magazine on Drawing as Process.
