PROJECT “IF IT WAS ME?”PORTUGAL

70 YEH

If It Was Me? The campaign "what if it was me?" is inspired by the project

"What's In My Bag?" developed by the International Rescue Committee in collaboration with photographer Tyler Jump who photographed a group of refugees who came to the island of Lesbos (Greece)-a mother, a child, a teenager, a family, a pharmacist and an artist – and who shared what they brought in their backpacks when they had to flee.

For motivation we saw this movies and discussed them with our teachers:

If It Was Me? In our school all students participated in

this campaign and one of the goals was: each student had to make his own backpack with what they would bring if they had to flee. The most common questions were “What to pack?” and “Where am I going to?”. It was difficult but here are some backpacks of our students.
