Περίληψη: | The last few years Greece has experienced an unprecedented influx of refugees searching for a better and safer life in the EU. According to UNHCR more than one million people have been forced to flee home countries in the Middle East and south Asia due to war and deprivation. This large vulnerable human flow has become a serious social issue in terms of ensuring not only refugees’ safe accommodation but also their harmonious integration in the host community. Given that refugees’ children are enrolled in local elementary schools it is more than vital to eliminate factors that could endanger their psychosocial adjustment and well-being. The Friendship Project (FP) is a school-based project designed by the Kent Refugee Action Network. It consists of 4 weekly structured lessons that aim to dispel children’s prejudicial beliefs and encourage their empathy and positive attitudes towards refugees. Its effectiveness is based on the successful combination of multicultural and antiracist theoretical approaches. Intercultural knowledge, values and skills of participants are the main objectives of this multifaceted program. The aim of our NSRF (National Strategic Reference Framework)-funded research was to adapt FP in Greek language and evaluate its longitudinal effectiveness in Greek students. We hypothesized that FP 1) generates more positive attitudes toward refugees, 2) cultivates intercultural empathy, 3) changes preferred acculturation strategy and, 4) prevents racial bullying. For the purpose of our quasi experimental pre-test/post-test research, 234 elementary school students in Athens and Crete, aged 10-12, were enrolled and randomly allocated to condition (intervention vs control). All participants completed the same set of measures before, after and three months after the implementation of the program. Data analyses were conducted using SPSS 25 and MPlus 8.0. Results showed that FP had a positive short and long-term impact on students’ attitudes toward refugees and preferred acculturation strategy. Small but positive changes were also found in case of intercultural empathy. These results indicate that FP is a valuable and easy to implement school prejudice-reduction program. |
