REASONS OF

MIGRATION

POLITICAL

People leave their places of living for unknown ones in order to change their lives for the better or escape from local conflicts, poverty or national and religious persecution

Adaptation difficulties of migrants

Xenophobia-rejection of foreigners, people who carry not only new knowledge and experience, but also certain stereotypes, as well as their own vision of the world.

The problem of adaptation-language barrier, ignorance of mentality, loneliness

Exceeding the permissible threshold of migrants-exceeding the threshold of tolerance of the owners

Non-participation of migrants in the life of the country: has no opportunity in a short time to feel the culture, life, traditions and remains an observer of all social processes

The absence of the usual environment causes a constant sense of moral discomfort as a migrant changes his / her country of residence, lifestyle, habits, worldview and even language.

Internal migration changes the composition of any social groups, turning them into an international team Внутренняя миграция меняет

Without the formation of tolerance , respect for other peoples and the development of common principles of coexistence, the normal equilibrium existence of any small group in a metropolis is impossible

Any manifestations of national discrimination and xenophobia will lead to conflicts and disunity of the team and would prevent the implementation of the objectives

The science of coexistence, cooperation with mutual respect and tolerance is the first step towards globalization, first within a mini-group and then in a global sense

• Survey of high school students to identify the ethnographic composition of the students
• Creation of a series of illustrated booklets providing information on ethnic minorities and their culture
• Development of the elective course " we are different and this is our strength! On the way to tolerance»
