MIKS - Multilingualism as a field of action in intercultural school development

Sara Fürstenau, Katrin Huxel

How can we use multilingualism productively as a ressource for learning in school? And how can we support primary schools in implementing this?

A measure developed during this project was first tested in three pilot schools. In a second step, this concept is now being spread via multipliers in primary schools all over North Rhine-Westphalia and evaluated scientifically.

Transnational educational careers and social positioning between Brazil and Germany

Sara Fürstenau, Javier Carnicer

Affluent young people are "international students" and "internationally mobile" - whereas poor young people are "migrants" and "economic refugees". This division is also prevalent in scientific approaches.

But what are young people that search for education opportunities abroad without an affluent family backing them? This study examines and traces their life journeys, strategies and networks by way of interviews - and compares them to those of more affluent families.

Evaluation of the project "Rucksack Schule"

Drorit Lengyel, Vesna Ilic

Do bilingual children learn "their" languages better if they are taught both in their language of origin and in German?

To answer this question, we compare Turkish-German children that participate in the language and parental education program "Rucksack Schule" to a control group that attends regular classes in a longitudinal survey.

To answer these questions, the project analyses data from large longitudinal studies.
