Focus on migrations in ambiance rouge

Building on prior study of bird and butterfly migration, Ambiance Rouge explored the theme of human migration.
They examined how migration is often driven by the need for safety, resources, and survival, whether in the animal kingdom or in human stories.
Their focus was The Journey by Francesca Sanna, a poignant narrative about a mother and her two children fleeing their war-torn home in search of safety. Through its powerful storytelling and dramatic illustrations, the book introduced students to the challenges, dangers, and hopes faced by refugees worldwide.
They connected this story to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, particularly Article 14, which states that every individual has the right to seek safety in another country if they are in danger. Students reflected on the importance of compassion, family unity, and international support for those seeking asylum.
To enrich this exploration, they visited the Musée de l’Homme’s temporary exhibition Migration: Une Odyssée Humaine. There, students followed the real-life migratory journey of Claudia, who moved from Colombia to France in the early 2000s. This experience helped deepen their understanding of the courage and determination behind migration stories, both human and animal.
We hope these activities spark meaningful conversations at home about migration, strength, and empathy.
