The map of the origins

The map of Europe we’ve drawn on the wall of the class room enables us to see the origins of the families. Colored strings were placed from the original

towns or countries of the grand parents to the 4 towns (Moreste, Nowa Deba, Carovigno, Hoyanger).

It appears that half of the French students’ families come from abroad : Italy, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Poland, Austria, Russia, Turkey, North

Africa… France is clearly an immigration land.On the contrary, Polish families are native of Poland which makes Poland rather an emigration country. It is roughly the same for Norway and South

Italy even if these two countries have become lately countries of immigration (from Africa especially).

This work was interesting because students became aware that Europe is a continent where people moved a lot and the different countries are

connected to each other through migrations.
