The village of our marionettes
Type
Description
Method
This is a method of working with children from 6 to 16 yo. In each group there
are 10 children and 3 animators. (psychologist and/or special educator) There
are involved both children from Syrian refuges families and children from
Gyumri. This contributes to the Syrian children's integration process. They
create marionettes from trash (e.g. bottles). After the creation is ready they
tell a story about their marionette, and usually it is the story of their life. After
sharing their stories they create a house for their marionettes and a village
where they will live in.

Description
NGO project
The project was introduced in 2004 in Czech Republic under the Czech name
'Rodina odvedle'. Starting from 2012 the project is being implemented all over
the EU. The countries that joined the initiative so far are Slovakia, Malta,
Belgium, Hungary, Italy and Spain.
It derives from the concept of inclusive neighborhoods and enhances
establishing friendships and social ties between representatives of immigrant
communities and the majority society. The project brings together local families
and families of migrant background through a common Sunday lunch organized
at home of one of the families. All the meetings take part on the same day. Every
gathering involves two families and a volunteer assistant who is there to help to
facilitate the meeting and provide language support.
The coordinating organization, Slovo 21 from Prague is interested in cooperating
with all the countries in EU that hasn’t gotten involved yet.
