Explore histories of migration, citizenship and belonging in Germany and the U.S. over the centuries.
Following the accession of Romania and Bulgaria to the EU, the integration debate in Germany rises again especially regarding the integration of migrant youth into schools. In Berlin, in 2011, the so-called “Learning groups for new classmates without knowledge of German” (colloc. „Welcome classes“) are established. These classes, however, are criticized for leading to segregation and stigmatization especially of Roma and Sinti children and youth.
