Mémoires migrantes : quand les élèves vont à la rencontre de l'histoire orale des migrations

“Migrants remember” is an oral history project for a number of classes over several years. Students are helped in constructing an oral-media collection of the history of migrant associations in Lausanne and the canton of Vaud. This school oral history activity questions in a concrete manner several aspects concerning diversity in school history teaching and puts students at the centre of their relationship to other cultures. This article tries to point out some markers for reflection concerning the links between migration, history and citizenship teaching and the notion of otherness.
