CREATING IDENTITY AT SCHOOL: PROMOTING THE WELL-BEING OF IMMIGRANT CHILDREN THROUGH ART
The migratory process and the hostile social climate increase the risk of developing identity conflicts among immigrant children that will affect their psychological well-being. By welcoming and acknowledging their identity, the school can nevertheless contribute to a harmonious identity construction. In order to do this, creative expression workshops can be integrated into the classroom. From a non-exhaustive review of the literature, this text aims to illustrate, using examples from the author's research and intervention experience, how art can actually contribute to the construction of a more meaningful identity for immigrant children.
