Social inclusion of Immigrant students through Art
Journal Title: Black Sea Journal of Public and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
According to the data of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 12 million people have displaced after the Syrian civil war began in 2012. Over 3 million of these people migrated to Turkey with Turkey's "open-door" policy. Approximately half of these refugees are at the age of education. The education of these people, their inclusion to the society and school affect the development of labor force participation, economic mobility, social welfare and development of the society in the future. In consequence of the observation of 63 immigrant students by students' individual application to our counseling service, it was observed that immigrant students suffer from loneliness, cannot get on well with non-immigrants, they do not play games with each other and fight by forming groups. For their adaptation to school climate, conducting a series of common activities will do well to the immigrant students who were mostly traumatized, lost someone from family or show depression symptoms. The aim of our article is to emphasize the importance of the integration and discovery of immigrant children's abilities/talents within the education process. Art's unifying power will be a guiding light to solve these problems. Because Art creates equalitarian and peaceful atmosphere in mutual collaboration, understanding and empathy environment. Art will make immigrant and non-immigrant students communicate beyond the language, gender, age, class and all other cultural barriers. It also contributes to form emotional connection with a respectful cultural strategy.
