Abstract

The article outlines a lesson unit on the topic of migration history for secondary level I which deals with biographical self-presentations of children of Italian seasonal migrants. Based on these individual cases from the context of Switzerland between 1950-1990, students develop an understanding of the effects of (seasonal) migration on families and especially on the children of migrants as well as their scope for action. In addition, students train their skills in analyzing testimonies of witnesses. With a research task about « forbidden children » in Switzerland today, they establish a connection to their present living environment.
