“Mind the Gap” is a project involving 9 different European

Countries. Its aim is to develop a program to facilitate

school integration of migrant students and students from

different ethnic groups of secondary schools together

with their families.

Migrant students and students from different ethnic

groups are increasing constantly. They are from a lot of

other countries. We need a new way to programme in

order to compare exchanges among cultures and

promote a democratic cohabitation.

By giving us some information about you, your family and

your background in this interview, you will help us to

improve our project outcome. Thank you very much!
