The document discusses borders and how they are commonly perceived, suggesting that borders represent interaction and cultural exchange rather than exclusion, are fluid rather than fixed, and indicate insecurity rather than security. It prompts considering the borders young people cross daily that could be used to discuss this concept and how borders could be integrated into or made a separate topic of discussion in teaching.

1. What borders do young
people cross each day that
you could use as the basis for
a discussion about borders?
Do borders always represent
violence?
“Borders are the
environment’s greatest ally;
it is through them we will
save the planet.”
Jordan Bardella, National Rally Party of France
Borders are signs of
contiguity (interaction and
cultural exchange) rather
than exclusion.

2. Borders are restless rather
than fixed in their nature.
Borders represent insecurity
rather than security.
Which borders do you
currently teach about, and
which could you?
Would you have a separate
borders topic or integrate it
into existing topics?
